متن کاملTangential intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to the intact breast
INTRODUCTION Inverse-planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IP-IMRT) has potential benefits over other techniques for tangential intact breast radiotherapy. Possible benefits include increased homogeneity, faster planning time, less inter-planner variability and lower doses to organs at risk (OAR). We therefore conducted a pilot study of previously treated intact breast patients to comp...

متن کاملThe Relationship between the Different Prostate Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Techniques and Patient’s Anatomical Parameters
Introduction: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is a common method for treating prostate cancers. Different IMRT methods can apply for irradiating the prostate, but there is not clear that which of these methods can provide better dose distribution for each patient individually. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the different prosta...
