title: Sonographic positioning of endouterine applicator.
abstract: Real-time ultrasonographic determinations of the position of an endouterine applicator (Tandem) were performed in patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix at the time of intracavitary irradiation. Findings of ultrasonography (US) showed clearly the relation between the applicator for intracavitary irradiation and the uterine fundus. US is a valuable adjunct, which improves the accuracy of Tandem positioning.
