One end is fixed to a device placed in the cervical canal to immobilize the uterus, while the other end is connected to a series of potentiometers used to detect any movement of the uterus. 92 cases of carcinoma of the cervix were treated by means of whole-pelvis irradiation with 6,000 rads to a large field using a linear accelerator and the device described above, followed by 3,000–4,500 rads to a small field using a lateral pendulum.Article HistoryAccepted: Dec 1973Published in print: July 1974 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByContraception, Vol. 25, No. 2Acta Radiologica: Oncology, Radiation, Physics, Biology, Vol. 17, No. 1Recommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 112, No. 1 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download
