Performance Characteristics of an Independent Dose Verification Program for Helical Tomotherapy
Helical tomotherapy with its advanced method of intensity-modulated radiation therapy delivery has been used clinically for over 20 years. The standard delivery quality assurance procedure to measure the accuracy of delivered radiation dose from each treatment plan to a phantom is time-consuming. RadCalc®, a radiotherapy dose verification software, has released specifically for beta testing a m...
متن کاملEarly Experience of Helical Tomotherapy for Hepatobiliary Radiotherapy
Helical tomotherapy (HT), an image-guided, intensity-modulated, radiation therapy technique, allows for precise targeting while sparing normal tissues. We retrospectively assessed the feasibility and tolerance of the hepatobiliary HT in 9 patients. A total dose of 54 to 60 Gy was prescribed (1.8 or 2 Gy per fraction) with concurrent capecitabine for 7 patients. There were 1 hepatocarcinoma, 3 c...
متن کاملSpatially fractionated radiotherapy (GRID) using helical tomotherapy
Spatially fractionated radiotherapy (GRID) was designed to treat large tumors while sparing skin, and it is usually delivered with a linear accelerator using a commercially available block or multileaf collimator (LINAC-GRID). For deep-seated (skin to tumor distance (> 8 cm)) tumors, it is always a challenge to achieve adequate tumor dose coverage. A novel method to perform GRID treatment using...
متن کاملNovel in - treatment dose verification methods for adaptive radiotherapy ”
Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities to treat cancer. Image based treatment verification has been recently introduced. However, a quantitative comparison between the planned and delivered dose is a novel development in the field of radiotherapy. In this thesis, the added value of quantitative in-treatment dose measurements techniques to facilitate adaptive radiotherapy has been ...
متن کاملMeasurement‐guided volumetric dose reconstruction for helical tomotherapy
It was previously demonstrated that dose delivered by a conventional linear accelerator using IMRT or VMAT can be reconstructed - on patient or phantom datasets - using helical diode array measurements and a technique called planned dose perturbation (PDP). This allows meaningful and intuitive analysis of the agreement between the planned and delivered dose, including direct comparison of the d...
