Abstract |
|
The study was established to measure the amount of
radiation outside the treatment field in external
beam radiation therapy using day method of dose
calculation, the data was collected from 89 patients
of cervical carcinoma in order to determine if the
dose outside side the irradiation treatment field
for spleen, liver, both kidneys, small bowel, large
colon, skin within the acceptable limit or not. The
cervical field included mainly 4 organs which are
bladder, rectum part of small bowel and hip joint
these organ received mean dose of
(4781.987±281.321), (4736.91±331.8), (4647.64±387.1)
and (4745.91±321.11) respectively. The mean dose
received by outfield organs was (77.69±15.24cGy) to
large colon, (93.079±12.31cGy) to right kidney
(80.688±12.644cGy) to skin, (155.86±17.69cGy) to
small bowel. This was more significant value noted.
