Cerebral cortex dose sparing for glioblastoma patients: IMRT versus robust treatment planning
BACKGROUND To date, patients with glioblastoma still have a bad median overall survival rate despite radiation dose-escalation and combined modality treatment. Neurocognitive decline is a crucial adverse event which may be linked to high doses to the cortex. In a planning study, we investigated the impact of dose constraints to the cerebral cortex and its relation to the organs at risk for glio...
متن کاملEfficient schemes for robust IMRT treatment planning.
We use robust optimization techniques to formulate an IMRT treatment planning problem in which the dose matrices are uncertain, due to both dose calculation errors and interfraction positional uncertainty of tumour and organs. When the uncertainty is taken into account, the original linear programming formulation becomes a second-order cone program. We describe a novel and efficient approach fo...
متن کاملDose calculations accuracy of TiGRT treatment planning system for small IMRT beamlets in heterogeneous lung phantom
Background: Accurate dose calculations in small beamlets and lung material have been a great challenge for most of treatment planning systems (TPS). In the current study, the dose calculation accuracy of TiGRT TPS was evaluated for small beamlets in water and lung phantom by comparison to Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. Materials and Methods: The head of Siemens Oncor-impression linac...
متن کاملIntegration method of 3D MR spectroscopy into treatment planning system for glioblastoma IMRT dose painting with integrated simultaneous boost
BACKGROUND To integrate 3D MR spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) in the treatment planning system (TPS) for glioblastoma dose painting to guide simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). METHODS For sixteen glioblastoma patients, we have simulated three types of dosimetry plans, one conventional plan of 60-Gy in 3D conformational radiotherapy (3D-CRT), one 6...
