[Hysterography with afterloading-applicator in place. A simple method for improving the treatment planning of uterine cancer].
Anatomical configurations often are an obstacle to a convenient dose-distribution in intracavitary afterloading irradiation. Multiple applicators (splay applicators, twin applicators) cannot be introduced in all cases because of the necessary cervix dilatation. In several cases can be demonstrated, that a defined intracavitary irradiation is possible only by hysterographic control of the intrauterine position of the applicator. By this control generally a mono-applicator is sufficient, which can be placed according the anatomy of the uterine cavity in each session. For this purpose a simple hysterographic method with applicator in position is demonstrated, which requires only few additional effort during intracavitary irradiation.
