Image‐guided helical tomotherapy for localized prostate cancer: technique and initial clinical observations
The purpose of the present study was to implement a technique for daily computed tomography (CT)-based image-guided radiation therapy and to report observations on treatment planning, imaging, and delivery based on the first 2 years of clinical experience. Patients with previously untreated stage T1-T3 biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate were considered eligible for treatment with dail...
متن کاملImage Guided Hypofractionated Radiotherapy by Helical Tomotherapy for Prostate Carcinoma: Toxicity and Impact on Nadir PSA
AIM To evaluate the toxicity of a hypofractionated schedule for primary radiotherapy (RT) of prostate cancer as well as the value of the nadir PSA (nPSA) and time to nadir PSA (tnPSA) as surrogate efficacy of treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty patients underwent hypofractionated schedule by Helical Tomotherapy (HT). A dose of 70.2 Gy was administered in 27 daily fractions of 2.6 Gy. Acute...
متن کاملGuided Image Filtering for Image Enhancement
Noise removing belongs to image restoration in digital image processing. It’s the essential guarantee of identifying image information and the reliable guarantee of making further image processing. A satisfying result can’t be found if processing method such as feature extraction, registration or image fusion is carried out on an image with noise. So removing noise is absolutely necessary for i...
متن کاملA Single Image Registration Method for CT Guided Interventions
Minimally invasive image guided interventions are an attractive option for localized therapy delivery and diagnostic biopsy. We have developed a method for CT guided needle placement, based upon the Brown-Roberts -Wells frame, which requires no immobilization or fiducial implantation. A localization module, placed on a needle holding robotic end effector, allows for localization of the effector...
متن کاملPeripheral dose from megavoltage cone‐beam CT imaging for nasopharyngeal carcinoma image‐guided radiation therapy
The growing use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for IGRT has increased concerns over the additional radiation dose to patients. The in-field dose of IGRT and the peripheral dose (PD) from kilovoltage CBCT (KV-CBCT) imaging have been well quantified. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the peripheral dose from megavoltage CBCT (MV-CBCT) imaging for nasopharyngeal carcinoma IGRT, to d...
