本文件是AAPM放射治疗委员会的一个任务小组的报告，主要是为参与高原子序数(Z)髋关节假体骨盆恶性肿瘤患者外束治疗的医院物理学家提供建议。该报告的目的是使放射肿瘤学社区意识到这些装置在辐射束中存在所引起的问题，量化它们引起的剂量扰动，并最终为治疗计划和交付提供建议。一些数据和建议也适用于植入高z假体装置的患者，如大头针、肱骨头置换术。对这些情况的临床剂量学的科学认识和方法仍然不完整。本报告旨在反映高z髋假体放射肿瘤学患者临床剂量学的科学认识和技术方法的现状。(C) 2003年美国医学物理学家协会。
This document is the report of a task group of the Radiation Therapy Committee of the AAPM and has been prepared primarily to advise hospital physicists involved in external beam treatment of patients with pelvic malignancies who have high atomic number (Z) hip prostheses. The purpose of the report is to make the radiation oncology community aware of the problems arising from the presence of these devices in the radiation beam, to quantify the dose perturbations they cause, and, finally, to provide recommendations for treatment planning and delivery. Some of the data and recommendations are also applicable to patients having implanted high-Z prosthetic devices such as pins, humeral head replacements. The scientific understanding and methodology of clinical dosimetry for these situations is still incomplete. This report is intended to reflect the current state of scientific understanding and technical methodology in clinical dosimetry for radiation oncology patients with high-Z hip prostheses.
