Neste trabalho estão descritos todos os parâmetros e medidas necessárias para a implementação da irradiação de corpo inteiro numa instalação projetada para tratamentos convencionais, e que faz uso de geometrias não convencionais para gerar os tamanhos de campos alargados. Além disso, são apresentados os dados de comissionamento desta modalidade no Hospital das Clínicas de São Paulo utilizando a comparação de três tipos de detectores para medidas de dose de entrada durante tratamentos de irradiação de corpo inteiro. 4 IMPLEMENTATION OF TOTAL BODY IRRADIATION IN RADIOTHERAPY Ângela Beatriz Habitzreuter ABSTRACTBefore implementing a treatment technique, the characteristics of the beam under irradiation conditions must be well acknowledged and studied. Each one of the parameters used to calculate the dose has to be measured and validated before its utilization in clinical practice. This is particularly necessary when dealing with special techniques.In this work, all necessary parameters and measurements are described for the total body irradiation implementation in facilities designed for conventional treatments that make use of unconventional geometries to generate desired enlarged field sizes. Furthermore, this work presents commissioning data of this modality at Hospital das Clínicas of São Paulo using comparison of three detectors types for measurements of entrance dose during total body irradiation treatment.
