MODERN TECHNICAL STATE OF RADIOTHERAPY AND NUCLEAR MEDICINE IN THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS WAYS OF THEIR NEXT EVOLUTION
Abstract
The problems of state and the next technical maintenance radiotherapy and nuclear medicine evaluation in the Republic of Belarus are discussed. Now the treatment of oncological patients in radiotherapy puts to electron linear accelerators instead of irradiation them on external gamma-therapy units with 60Co. Dosimetric monitoring of new high technological methods of radiotherapy is described. Application of such complex precision methods on linear accelerators increases the efficiency of radiotherapy, practically decreases the complication in normal tissue and critical organs surrounding the volume targets during and after irradiation. Application of the modern diagnostic emission tomography including positron emission tomography units with ultrashort living radionuclides allows one to essentially improve the quality of cancer distribution detection, to develop the optimal treatment of patients, and to control them during the period after treatment. The ways of next technical maintenance evolution in radiotherapy and nuclear medicine are discussed.
