title: [Localization technic and positioning methodology in afterloading therapy].
abstract: For use in afterloading therapy there was constructed a special combination consisting of X-ray multiplier and a gynaecological table. Because of the constant magnification of radiographs topometric examinations became easier. Examining the displacement of points of interest when the patient is restored from a lithotomic position into a position with stretched legs we concluded that from the point of view of treatment planning it will be necessary to carry out afterloading irradiation with stretched legs like in the teletherapy. Only in such a way it is possible to calculate a common dose distribution of teletherapy and afterloading therapy.
