CT based 3-dimensional treatment planning of intracavitary brachytherapy for cancer of the cervix: comparison between dose-volume histograms and ICRU point doses to the rectum and bladder.

BACKGROUND CT based brachytherapy allows 3-dimensional (3D) assessment of organs at risk (OAR) doses with dose volume histograms (DVHs). The purpose of this study was to compare computed tomography (CT) based volumetric calculations and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) reference-point estimates of radiation doses to the bladder and rectum in patients with carc...

A system integrating high and low level planning with a 3 D -

One of the most diicult problem in the designing of planning systems concerns the integration of several reasoning components like sensing, perception and high level planning together with robotics modeling techniques. In this paper we present a simulation system for a robotic arm operating on a platform of the ISS (JERICO domain). We have de-ned a hierarchy of planners at the task, global and ...

The Comparison 2D and 3D Treatment Planning in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy with Emphasis on Dose Homogeneity and Lung Dose

Introduction: Breast conserving radiotherapy is one of the most common procedures performed in any radiation oncology department. A tangential parallel-opposed pair is usually used for this purpose. This technique is performed using 2D or 3D treatment planning systems. The aim of this study was to compare 2D treatment planning with 3D treatment planning in tangential irradiation in breast conse...

3-D CT for cardiovascular treatment planning.

The recently developed 64-slice CT scanner together with the use of 2-D and 3-D reconstructions can aid the cardiovascular surgeon and interventional radiologist in visualizing exact geometric relationships to plan and execute complex procedures via minimally invasive or standard approaches. Cardiac 64-slice CT considerably benefits from the high temporal and spatial resolution allowing the rel...
