Automatic IMRT and VMAT Treatment Planning for Head and Neck Cancer
The AAPM Professional Liability Insurance program provides a unique ability for medical physicists to obtain liability coverage for risks arising from the practice of medical physics. In the near future, the program is expected to introduce a new occurrence-form coverage option which has important implications and differences from the existing claims-made coverage. Since both forms will be offe...

متن کاملPostoperative IMRT in head and neck cancer
BACKGROUND Aim of this work was to assess loco-regional disease control in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with postoperative intensity modulated radiation therapy (pIMRT). For comparative purposes, risk features of our series have been analysed with respect to histopathologic adverse factors. Results were compared with an own historic conventional radiation (3DCRT) series, and with...
متن کاملFeasibility and limitations of bulk density assignment in MRI for head and neck IMRT treatment planning
Head and neck cancers centered at the base of skull are better visualized on MRI than on CT. The purpose of this investigation was to investigate the accuracy of bulk density assignment in head and neck intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment plan optimization. Our study investigates dose calculation differences between density-assigned MRI and CT, and identifies potential limita...
متن کاملAutomatic planning of head and neck treatment plans
Treatment planning is time-consuming and the outcome depends on the person performing the optimization. A system that automates treatment planning could potentially reduce the manual time required for optimization and could also provide a method to reduce the variation between persons performing radiation dose planning (dosimetrist) and potentially improve the overall plan quality. This study e...
