The Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...
متن کاملAutomatic Definition of Planning Target Volume in Computer-Assisted Radiotherapy
This paper describes a supporting tool for medical doctors, providing the automatic definition of radiation volumes (planning target volume, PTV) for conformal radiotherapy computed on detected tumor areas (gross tumor volume, GTV) within radiographic images. First, the recognized brain tumor is geometrically reconstructed and visualized in three-dimensional space. Then, the respective growth d...

متن کاملVolume definition in radiotherapy planning for lung cancer: how the radiologist can help
Effective treatment for carcinoma of the lung remains one of the biggest challenges in oncology. Radical radiotherapy may be a curative option for patients who are unsuitable for radical surgery either because of disease stage or because of co-morbidity. Long-term disease control with radical radiotherapy is disappointing with only about 6% of patients treated being alive at 5 years. Technologi...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography for target volume definition in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
The additional benefit of positron emission tomography (PET) in the initial staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has generated interest in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET as a means of defining the extent of primary lung tumour for radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP). A review of published data suggests that PET results in a reduction in the CT-derived GTV for NSCLC primary target v...
