چکیده
This paper illustrates the potential of FOTELP-VOX code, a modification general-purpose FOTELP combining Monte Carlo techniques to simulate particle transportation from an external source through internal organs, resulting in 3-D absorbed dose distribution. The study shows comparison results obtained by software and volumetric modulated arc therapy technique. planning technique with two full arcs was applied, plan created destroy diseased tissue eye tumor bed avoid damage surrounding healthy tissue, for one patient. coverage, homogeneity index, conformity index target, volumes critical structures were calculated. Good agreement human using these techniques.

Ultrafast treatment plan optimization for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
PURPOSE To develop a novel aperture-based algorithm for volumetric modulated are therapy (VMAT) treatment plan optimization with high quality and high efficiency. METHODS The VMAT optimization problem is formulated as a large-scale convex programming problem solved by a column generation approach. The authors consider a cost function consisting two terms, the first enforcing a desired dose di...
متن کاملIndependent absorbed-dose calculation using the Monte Carlo algorithm in volumetric modulated arc therapy
PURPOSE To report the result of independent absorbed-dose calculations based on a Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for various treatment sites. METHODS AND MATERIALS All treatment plans were created by the superposition/convolution (SC) algorithm of SmartArc (Pinnacle V9.2, Philips). The beam information was converted into the format of the Monaco V3.3 (El...
متن کاملDose Distribution Analysis of Rapid Arc and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Plan in Head and Neck Cancer
Introduction: Globally, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is considered as highly precise and accurate method of radiotherapy planning. This technique amplifies spatial dose distribution conformity by modulating the intensity of radiation beams in each sub-volume. Additionally, it can reduces the dose to surrounding critical organs and deliver the planned dose to targets with the nom...
متن کاملTreatment planning for volumetric modulated arc therapy.
PURPOSE Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a specific type of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in which the gantry speed, multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf position, and dose rate vary continuously during delivery. A treatment planning system for VMAT is presented. METHODS Arc control points are created uniformly throughout one or more arcs. An iterative least-squares algori...
متن کاملSmall-arc volumetric-modulated arc therapy
Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is considered to deliver a better dose distribution and to shorten treatment time. There is a lack of research regarding breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) using VMAT with prone positioning. We developed a new small-arc VMAT methodology and compared it to conventional (fixed-field) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the ...
