[The dosimetry of gynecological curietherapy by means of computed tomography].
The dosimetry of endocavitary curietherapy by means of CT in 15 patients, affected by cancer of the uterine cervix was studied. The results were compared with those obtained by the method of the European Group of Curietherapy. The authors measured the dimensions of the treated volume and the dose at critical points. The good relationship between the 2 methods is demonstrated, and the great possibilities opened by the new method are emphasized.
