Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Among other things, a method for transporting radiation to a body region is described, wherein, in a first step, a canal is formed up to the body region to be irradiated and wherein, in a second step, an applicator ( 10 ) which is fitted to the diameter of the canal is introduced into the canal in order to guide a probe tip. Advantageously, applicator ( 10 ) is formed for use with a radiation therapy device for producing a defined radiation dose for irradiating a body region, whereby applicator ( 10 ) has a base body ( 11 ) with a foot region ( 12 ) for the uptake of at least one component of a radiation therapy device ( 30 ), a cylindrical guide region ( 13 ) connecting thereto for the uptake of a probe tip of a radiation therapy device, whereby a transition region ( 14 ) is formed between the foot region ( 12 ) and the guide region ( 13 ), as well as a head region ( 15 ), which is formed at the distal end ( 21 ) of base body ( 11 ). The method can be utilized especially for the treatment of tumors in the vertebral column.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for transporting radiation to a body region, said method comprising: forming a canal up to the body region, wherein said forming step comprises drilling or tissue punching the canal, the canal having a canal diameter, the canal diameter being substantially uniform, then, introducing an applicator which is fitted to the diameter of the canal into the canal in order to guide a probe tip or a radiation source unit, said applicator being shaped…
