Dosimetric effects of manual cone‐beam CT (CBCT) matching for spinal radiosurgery: Our experience
Radiosurgical treatment of cranial or extracranial targets demands accurate positioning of the isocenter at the beam and table isocenter, and immobilization of the target during treatment. For spinal radiosurgery, the standard approach involves matching of cone-beam CT (CBCT) in-room images with the planning CT (pCT) to determine translation and yaw corrections. The purpose of this study was to...
متن کاملSegmentation of Cone Beam CT in stereotactic radiosurgery
C-arm Cone Beam CT (CBCT) systems – due to compact size, flexible geometry and low radiation exposure – inaugurated the era of on-board 3D image guidance in therapeutic and surgical procedures. Leksell Gamma Knife Icon by Elekta introduced an integrated CBCT system to determine patient position prior to surgical session, thus advancing to a paradigm shift in facilitating frameless stereotactic ...
متن کاملEffective dose of cone beam CT (CBCT) of the facial skeleton: a systematic review.
OBJECTIVE To estimate effective dose of cone beam CT (CBCT) of the facial skeleton with focus on measurement methods and scanning protocols. METHODS A systematic review, which adhered to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews (PRISMA) Statement, of the literature up to April 2014 was conducted. Data sources included MEDLINE®, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science. A model was ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Factors Affecting Absorbed Dose, Optimization Methods and Patient Dose Reduction in Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
Introduction: Nowadays the use of cone beam computed tomography in dental imaging is increasing, although this method has a much lower dose than conventional CT scans, it delivers a higher dose than the panoramic and periapical patients therefore, , the aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the patients' dose in dental CBCTs and methods of optimizing and reducing the patien...
متن کاملQuality Assurance (QA) for Kilovoltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Precise targeting of the tumor is very important and imaging can be immensely helpful in this process. Hence the quality assurance of the imaging systems used to guide the beam is also essential. One could argue that it is as critical as quality assurance for the radiation dose output, since the right amount of radiation dose delivered to the wrong location can be as detrimental as delivering t...
