Résumé
Ruthenium-106 brachytherapy is a common treatment for small to medium-sized uveal melanomas. In certain clinical contexts, plaques may be placed eccentrically to tumor center. The effect of plaque decentration, a common radiation dose measurement in radiotherapy: D Using a Plaque Simulator™ (Eye Physics) plaque modelling software, treatment time required to deliver 100 Gy D D Eccentric plaque placement reduces the radiation dose delivered to choroidal tumors. Both tumor (thickness, diameter) and plaque (size, location) characteristics are important D
