Investigating the effects of different kernels used for CT image reconstruction on dose distributions in treatment planning of kidney cancer radiotherapy
Introduction: The quality of CT images used for treatment planning of cancer patients is an important issue in accurate outlining of the tumor volume and organs at risk. Different kernels in CT scanner systems are available for improving the image quality. Applying these kernels on CT images will change the CT numbers and electron density of tissues, conse...
متن کاملValidation of treatment planning system using simulation PRIMO code.
Introduction: In radiation therapy, in order to double-check the dosimetric results of the main treatment planning system (TPS), a distinct TPS, with few capacitances in terms of contouring and a variety of dose calculation algorithms is used. This system has the capability to double check the planification and the accurate prediction of dose distribution in order to be ensured...
متن کاملAssessment of Dose Calculation Accuracy of TiGRT Treatment Planning System for Physical Wedged fields in Radiotherapy
Introduction Wedge modifiers are commonly applied in external beam radiotherapy to change the dose distribution corresponding to the body contour and to obtain a uniform dose distribution within the target volume. Since the radiation dose delivered to the target must be within ±5% of the prescribed dose, accurate dose calculation by a treatment planning system (TPS) is important. The objective ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dose Calculation Accuracy of Isogray Treatment Planning System in Craniospinal Radiotherapy
Introduction: Craniospinal radiotherapy is a therapeutic technique for central nervous system (CNS) tumors, which requires meticulous attention to technique and dosimetry.Treatment planning system (TPS) is one of the main equipment in radiotherapy; therefore, the evaluation of its accuracy is essential for dose calculation. The present study evaluates the validity of Isogray TPS in craniospinal...
متن کاملMeasurement of image rotation angle in CT for radiotherapy treatment planning
The geometric accuracy of CT images is essential when they are used for planning radiation therapy. In this study, a method of quantitative testing of image rotation in CT is presented, based on the automated analysis of an image of a phantom half-filled with water. A plug-in was written for ImageJ software for automated detection of a water surface in an image and measurement of its angle rela...
