Use of a 3D printer to create a bolus for patients undergoing tele-radiotherapy
Background: This study describes the possibility of implementing three-dimensional printing technology to create a precise construction of a planned bolus, based on computed tomography information stored in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format file. Materials and Methods: To create the bolus with a 3D printer, we converted data in the DICOM format to the s...
متن کامل3D-conformal-intensity modulated radiotherapy with compensators for head and neck cancer: clinical results of normal tissue sparing
BACKGROUND To investigate the potential of parotic gland sparing of intensity modulated radiotherapy (3D-c-IMRT) performed with metallic compensators for head and neck cancer in a clinical series by analysis of dose distributions and clinical measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS 39 patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck irradiated using 3D-c-IMRT were evaluable for dose distributi...

متن کاملDosimetry evaluation of salivary glands in 3D conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiotherapy in oral tongue cancer
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric and radiobiological parameters of salivary glands in treatment of patients with oral tongue cancer by 3D conventional radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on treatment planning of patients with oral tongue cancer in T2-3/N0 cancer s...
متن کاملGrid: A location dependent intensity modulated radiotherapy for bulky tumors
Background: An effective method for management of large and bulky malignant tumors. This treatment modality is also known as Specially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT). In this treatment technique a grid block converted the open radiation field into a series of pencil beams. Dosimetric characteristics of an external beam grid radiation field have been investigated using experimental and Mo...
