Comparison of effective dose for imaging of mandible between multi-detector CT and cone-beam CT
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the effective dose for imaging of mandible between multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). An MDCT with low dose technique was also compared with them. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips were placed at 25 organ sites of an anthropomorphic phantom. The mandible of the phantom was...
متن کاملCone beam CT pre‐ and post‐daily treatment for assessing geometrical and dosimetric intrafraction variability during radiotherapy of prostate cancer
The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship between treatment time and dose uncertainty due to intrafraction organ motion in prostate cancer radiotherapy (RT). Ten consecutive patients with prostate cancer treated by radical RT by volumetric modulated arc therapy (RapidArc) were considered. For each patient, pre- and post-treatment cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was perform...
متن کاملHypofractionated External-Beam Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
There are radiobiological rationales supporting hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The recent advancements in treatment planning and delivery allow sophisticated radiation treatments to take advantage of the differences in radiobiology of prostate cancer and the surrounding normal tissues. The preliminary results from clinical studies indicate that abbreviated fractionation prog...
متن کاملComprehensive Monte Carlo study of patient doses from cone-beam CT imaging in radiotherapy
Accurate knowledge of ionizing radiation dose from cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging in radiotherapy is important to allow concomitant risks to be estimated and for justification of imaging exposures. This study uses a Monte Carlo CBCT model to calculate imaging dose for a wide range of imaging protocols for male and female patients. The Elekta XVI CBCT system was modeled using GATE and simulated dos...
