Carrying out the intracavitary radiotherapy requires strict control over accurate disposition of endostates relative to a pathological focus and checking the proper position of the patient during the whole irradiation course. For this purpose, a double-tube X-ray localizer, based on the X-ray apparatus RUM-10 and a new therapeutic table were designed and accepted for clinical practice. The table construction ensures the localizer application in both the roentgenographic and roentgenoscopic modes and permits to employ a TV-system with amplification of X-ray patterns.
