Unnecessary laryngeal irradiation in the IMRT era.
PURPOSE The purpose of this review is to address the issue of unnecessary irradiation of the normal larynx. METHODS We performed a literature review and dosimetry evaluation of intensity modulated radiotheraphy (IMRT) techniques. RESULTS Data suggest that matching conventional parallel opposed photon fields through adenopathy is a reasonable alternative to the common practice of unnecessari...
متن کاملIMRT credentialing for prospective trials using institutional virtual phantoms: results of a joint European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer and Radiological Physics Center project
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) credentialing for a EORTC study was performed using an anthropomorphic head phantom from the Radiological Physics Center (RPC; RPC(PH)). Institutions were retrospectively requested to irradiate their institutional phantom (INST(PH)) using the same treatment plan in the framework of a Virtual Phantom Project (VPP) for IMRT credential...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Delta4 phantom for IMRT and VMAT verification.
The Delta(4) diode array phantom (Scandidos, Uppsala, Sweden) was evaluated for verification of segmental intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) on an Elekta linear accelerator (Crawley UK). The device was tested for angular sensitivity by irradiating it from 36 different gantry angles, and the responses of the device to various step-and-shoot s...
متن کاملThe Swiss IMRT dosimetry intercomparison using a thorax phantom.
PURPOSE In 2008, a national intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) dosimetry intercomparison was carried out for all 23 radiation oncology institutions in Switzerland. It was the aim to check the treatment chain focused on the planning, dose calculation, and irradiation process. METHODS A thorax phantom with inhomogeneities was used, in which thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) and ioniz...
