BOOK REVIEW Imaging in Treatment Planning for Sinonasal Diseases
I am always looking for the perfect textbook to add to my collection: a comprehensive radiology text on pathology and how the surgeon, clinician, or radiation oncologist is going to treat it. Of course, if this were possible, then our libraries would not be nearly so crowded. Despite my better judgment, in reviewing Imaging in Treatment Planning for Sinonasal Diseases, the latest in the Springe...
متن کاملOptimizing the Scenario Positions for Robust Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
Complex external beam radiation therapy treatment plans are susceptible to errors. Robust optimization methods that take uncertainties into account during the optimization can alleviate the effects of the errors. For many robust methods, the possible error realizations are discretized into scenarios. The methods then aim at achieving high quality plans in all scenarios simultaneously. The choic...
متن کاملAnalytical probabilistic modeling for radiation therapy treatment planning.
This paper introduces the concept of analytical probabilistic modeling (APM) to quantify uncertainties in quality indicators of radiation therapy treatment plans. Assuming Gaussian probability densities over the input parameters of the treatment plan quality indicators, APM enables the calculation of the moments of the induced probability density over the treatment plan quality indicators by an...
متن کاملReview of Fast Monte Carlo Codes for Dose Calculation in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
An important requirement in radiation therapy is a fast and accurate treatment planning system. This system, using computed tomography (CT) data, direction, and characteristics of the beam, calculates the dose at all points of the patient's volume. The two main factors in treatment planning system are accuracy and speed. According to these factors, various generations of treatment planning syst...
متن کاملAn Approach in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Fast, GPU-Based Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: An accurate and fast radiation dose calculation is essential for successful radiation radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to implement a new graphic processing unit (GPU) based radiation therapy treatment planning for accurate and fast dose calculation in radiotherapy centers. Materials and Methods: A program was written for parallel runnin...
