Abstract

On the radiotherapy planning for brain and nasopharyngeal tumor, we have taken usually computed tomogram on the level of the lesion and enlarged this film to the same size of the patient.
On the other hand, dose distribution curve was made by PDI-10 (photographic method for measuring dose distribution) and Rando Phantom.
It is avairable to consider that the enlarged CT film is piled up on this dose distribution curve for radiotherapy planning.
