title: [Dosimetric study in vivo, using a computer, of Co-60 irradiation of patients with breast prosthesis made of silicone].
abstract: This work studies the dose distribution through the chest wall in radiation therapy after mammary reconstruction with silicone prostheses. TLD experimental dosimetry has been done on patient with silicone prostheses, on patient without prostheses and on Alderson phantom. Various conditions of treatment have been theorically simulated on a computer. At least authors show the results evaluating the dose distribution through the chest wall, the skin and the local complications.
