Development of Digital Radiotherapy Simulator: A Device for Tumour Localization, Radiotherapy Planning and Verification
Radiation therapy is one of the established modes of cancer treatment. For the safe and effective radiation therapy, it is necessary to plan and deliver the radiation beam accurately. Radiotherapy Simulator helps in identifying the organs at risk and in localising the cancer-affected tissues. For teletherapy, the Simulator would also help in choosing the right radiation beam and aiming it at th...
متن کاملThe calibration of CT Hounsfield units for radiotherapy treatment planning.
Computer tomographic (CT) scans are used to correct for tissue inhomogeneities in radiotherapy treatment planning. In order to guarantee a precise treatment, it is important to obtain the relationship between CT Hounsfield units and electron densities (or proton stopping powers for proton radiotherapy), which is the basic input for radiotherapy planning systems which consider tissue heterogenei...
متن کاملQuantitative Electron Density CT Imaging for Radiotherapy Planning
Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality used to calculate the deposit of dose in radiotherapy planning, where the physical interactions are modelled based upon the electron density, which can be calculated from CT images. Traditionally this is a three step process: linearising the raw x-ray measurements and correcting for beamhardening and scatter; inverting the system with analytic or...
متن کاملPET/CT in Radiotherapy Planning for Head and Neck Cancer
The use of PET/CT as an adjunct in radiotherapy planning is an attractive option in head and neck cancer (HNC) for several reasons. First, with potentially better identification of the disease extent, i.e., staging, the risk of geographical miss of radiation delivery to the gross tumor volume is reduced. Second, in characterizing the biological behavior of the disease for example, areas of hypo...
