Radiotherapy planning using computed tomography.

A critical look at the use of computed tomography (CT) for radiation therapy planning shows problems which all arise from incorrect positioning of the patient. CT is an excellent tool for therapy planning if the patient is positioned identically at the CT scanner and on the therapy couch. This is accomplished by installing matching laser systems at the CT scanner and at the therapy machine. The authors' planning procedure is discussed in detail.

[Therapy planning at the CT (author's transl)].

A therapy planning system was installed in a computer tomography hardware. This configuration has some advantages for treatment planning: 1. CT-images and isodoses can be overlaid. 2. Using skin markers in the computer tomography the actual therapy can easily be checked. 3. This method offers a good method for recording isodoses and anatomic cross sections simultaneously.

[Computer tomography in therapy planning (author's transl)].

A report is given on the utilization of computer tomography for the irradiation planning. Owing to international cooperation it was possible to use the obtained pictures as a basis for a computerized irradiation planning. The authors give some practical examples of optimized isodose plans for individual cases which have been elaborated by using the computer-tomographic cross-section pictures and the computerized system for irradiation planning and which give a good idea of the efficiency of the system.

[Ultrasonography in pancreatic disease (author's transl)].

In 150 patients who underwent ultrasonography 85 cases presented a pathological ultrasonogram. Clinical course, enzyme elevations, or operative findings suggested pancreatic disease. In 14 cases the diagnosis was confirmed by histology. Acute pancreatitis may be diagnosed by a certain sonographic pattern. Cysts, solid tumours, and inflammatory masses may be differentiated. Malignant tumours cannot be differentiated from benign lesions.
