Цель работы – установление численных величин доминирующих компонентов сеанса лучевой терапии для каждой из методик облучения, наиболее применяемых в клинической практике лучевой терапии.</p><p>Для установления численных величин компонентов сеанса лучевой терапии авторами проведены экспериментальные измерения каждого из них для некоторых клинических случаев облучения пациентов с локализациями злокачественных новообразований: рак предстательной железы, рак молочной железы, рак легкого, опухоли головы и шеи (более 2000 индивидуальных измерений), осуществляемых с использованием медицинских линейных ускорителей следующих моделей: «Clinac», «Unique», «Truebeam», а также гамма-терапевтического аппарата «Theratron».</p><p>Установлены численные значения затрачиваемого времени для 3-х групп параметров сеанса облучения: механические параметры аппаратов лучевой терапии, функциональные характеристики систем реализации облучения и параметры, напрямую зависящие от персонала, участвующего в проведении процедуры облучения.</p><p>Предложена блок-схема для процедур верификации положения пациента на терапевтическом столе (две различные методики), предшествующей облучению пациента и непосредственно процедурам лучевой терапии. Показано, что ряд компонентов сеанса может осуществляться параллельно друг другу, за счёт чего время, проводимое пациентом в процедурном помещении, может быть оптимизированно.</p><p>С использованием полученных значений затрачиваемого времени для параметров сеанса облучения возможна реализация математической модели, которая позволит предварительно определить длительность сеанса облучения на этапе предлучевой подготовки и выбрать методику лучевой терапии с учетом индивидуальных параметров облучения в каждом конкретном клиническом случае.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>One of the main factors affecting the effectiveness of radiation therapy is the constancy of the patient’s position on the treatment table created by immobilization devices of various designs and held throughout the entire irradiation procedure, which guarantees the accuracy of the delivery of the prescribed dose distribution. The purpose of the work was to establish the numerical values of the dominant components of a radiation therapy session for each of the irradiation techniques most commonly used in clinical practice of the radiation therapy.</p><p>To determine the numerical values of the components of the radiation therapy session, the authors have measured each component for some clinical cases of patients’ irradiation placed. The patients had been diagnosed with the following malignant tumours: prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, head and neck tumours. More than 2000 individual measurements have been carried out with the help of such medical linear accelerators as "Clinac", "Unique", "Truebeam", and the gamma-therapeutic apparatus named "Theratron".</p><p>The numerical values of the time spent on 3 groups of parameters of an irradiation session were established: the mechanical parameters of the radiation therapy equipment, the functional characteristics of the irradiation systems and the parameters that directly depend on the personnel involved in an irradiation procedure.</p><p>According to the measurement results, the flow diagram for the procedures of verifying a patient’s position on the therapeutic table (2 different techniques), preceding their irradiation and the radiation therapy procedures themselves was proposed. It has been shown that a number of session components can run in parallel to each other thus optimizing the time spent by a patient in the treatment room.</p><p>Using the obtained values of the time spent on the radiation session parameters it is possible to actualize the mathematical model that will allow the medical physicist to determine in advance the duration of the irradiation session at the stage of treatment planning and choose a radiation therapy technique taking into account the individual parameters of the irradiation session in each particular clinical case.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>сеанс облучения</kwd><kwd>линейный ускоритель</kwd><kwd>лучевая терапия</kwd><kwd>временные характеристики</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>treatment session</kwd><kwd>linear accelerator</kwd><kwd>radiation therapy</kwd><kwd>timing</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Tarutin I.G., Titovich E.V.
