Brahüteraapiasüsteemideks

Brahüteraapiasüsteemideks refer to systems or methodologies used in the application of brachytherapy, a form of radiation therapy. Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources directly inside or next to the tumor being treated. This localized delivery of radiation allows for a high dose to be concentrated on the cancerous cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

These systems encompass a range of technologies and techniques. They include the hardware used to deliver the radiation, such as applicators, catheters, and radioactive sources themselves (e.g., iridium-192, cesium-137). Crucially, brahüteraapiasüsteemideks also involve sophisticated planning software that enables oncologists and radiation therapists to precisely map the tumor's location and determine the optimal placement and dosage of radioactive material. Imaging techniques like CT scans or MRI are often integrated into the planning process to ensure accuracy.

Different types of brachytherapy, such as low-dose-rate (LDR) and high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, utilize specific brahüteraapiasüsteemideks tailored to their respective treatment protocols. LDR typically involves leaving radioactive sources in place for an extended period, while HDR involves shorter, more intense sessions. The choice of system depends on the type and stage of cancer, its location, and the overall treatment strategy. Brahüteraapiasüsteemideks are continuously evolving with advancements in imaging, dosimetry, and afterloader technology.
