 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Of cervical cancer brachytherapy treatment of three-dimensional dose distribution verification [Keywords:] Cervical cancer Detection of 3Ddose distribution of intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer patients [Abstract] AIM: To investigate the feasibility of checking the 3Ddose distributions of intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer patients by thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) [LIF (Mg.Cu.P)] in an anthropomorphic pelvic phantom. METHODS: On the basis of a simulated intracavitary brachytherapy plan, TLD components were put into test holes in anthropomorphic pelvic phantom for measuring the dose to each TLD component with FJ427A1 dosimeter following the intracavitary irradiation with MicroSelectron HDR afterloader at the prescription dose. The measured values were compared with the calculated ones. RESULTS: A good linear relationship was found between the TLD components measured values and the irradiation doses within the range of 0-300 cGy, and the former ones were in a good line with the calculated ones with 3DVTPS at the reference points of A, B , F, bladder and rectal doses, average error being ± 5.16%. CONCLUSION: TLD components tested doses can well reflect the exposure doses of patients, so it is of important value to forecast radiotherapy side effects, optimize radiotherapy plan and improve curative effect. [Keywords] cervix neoplasms; radiotherapy; thermoluminescence dosimeter [Abstract] Objective: To Chengdu pelvic model and simulation of human LIF (Mg.Cu.P) thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer verify 3D dose distribution is feasible. Methods: Based on the clinical intracavitary radiation therapy simulation programs installed programs, set within a simulation model of the human pelvic reference points (holes), the TLD element into the simulation model of the human pelvic test hole, with MicroSelectron HDR brachytherapy machine simulation program according to th
