Abstract

CT examinations before and after radiotherapy were performed in 48 patients with choroidal melanomas who were submitted for a bulb-preserving irradiation with ruthenium-106. The authors wanted to investigate to which extent further, especially pretherapeutic informations are obtained by computed tomography, if performed in addition to well-known ophthalmologic examinations (ophthalmoscopy, fluorescence angiography, sonography). Furthermore the side reactions of therapy induced by the intervention or by the tumor should be visualized. The measurements of the tumor prominence were of special importance for the therapy planning, because they allowed to verify the response of radiotherapy by computed tomography. Our own patients had an average tumor regression of 1 to 2 mm within the first three months after the irradiation with ruthenium-106; after six months the prominence of the melanomas had decreased by 3 to 4 mm on an average. Interesting side effects, also for the ophthalmologist, were acute radiogenic retino-uveitises and parabulbar oedemas found in several patients who showed a marked regression within one or two weeks. Some late effects were scleral scars at the point of fixation of the ruthenium calotte.

[治疗前计算机断层扫描研究和随访患者的脉络膜黑素瘤辐照]。
本文对48例脉络膜黑色素瘤行钌-106保球照射的患者进行放疗前后CT检查。作者希望进一步研究在何种程度上,特别是在众所周知的眼科检查(眼镜检查、荧光血管造影、超声检查)之外,通过计算机断层扫描获得治疗前信息。此外,应观察干预或肿瘤引起的治疗副反应。肿瘤突出的测量对治疗计划特别重要,因为它们允许通过计算机断层扫描验证放射治疗的反应。我们自己的患者在钌-106照射后的头三个月内平均肿瘤消退1 - 2mm;六个月后,黑素瘤的突出程度平均下降了3 - 4毫米。对于眼科医生来说,有趣的副作用是急性放射源性视网膜-葡萄膜炎和球囊旁水肿,在几名患者中发现,这些患者在一到两周内表现出明显的消退。一些晚期影响是在钌卡罗特固定点的巩膜疤痕。
