Abstract

The authors examine the combination of percutaneous and intracavitary irradiation using the afterloading system. The isodoses are directly superposed on the CT zone. Two examples of different positions are given in order to discuss possible overdoses or underdoses, the radiation exposure of bladder and rectum as well as the necessary shielding.
