Improved radiotherapy dose calculations using ultrasound uterine localization.
An easy noninvasive method of accurate uterine measurement using B-mode ultrasound for subsequent intracavitary dosimetry is presented. Importance of documentation of uterine size is stressed. This method if universally adopted would help to standardize intracavitary dosimetry and thereapy results could be more meaningfully analyzed.
