Real-size CT slices to optimize brachytherapy in the plastic tube technique for oral cavity neoplasms.
To optimize brachytherapy treatments in the plastic tube technique and to have a quality assurance system, we use Real-Size CT slices (RSCTS). This procedure permits us to have a more precise knowledge of the dose distribution in the tumor and in the healthy neighboring tissues.
