EP-1280: A surface imaging system for setup verification of radiotherapy treatments in pelvic and thoracic regions.

Surface Imaging for Patient Setup and Monitoring for Breast Radiotherapy

Imaging for pelvic radiotherapy

Three dimensional (3D) imaging is key to the successful planning and delivery of pelvic radiotherapy treatment and is integrated into every step of the radiotherapy treatment pathway. Diagnostic and therapeutic imaging technology has evolved in the last decade, increasing the complexity of imaging choices available for target localisation, and introducing soft tissue visualisation into the trea...

Utilization of Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) For Setup Verification and Determination of Setup Margin in Head and Neck Radiation Therapy

Introduction: Radiation therapy involves a multistep procedure; therefore, the error in patient set up is an inherent part of the treatment. Main purpose of this study was to determine the clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) in head and neck cancer patients. Material and Methods: A total of 15 patients who had daily p...

Verification of the Accuracy of the Delivered Dose in Pelvic and Breast Cancer Radiotherapy by in-vivo Semi-Conductor Dosimetry

Introduction: Delivering maximum dose to tumor and minimum dose to normal tissues is the most important goal in radiotherapy. According to ICRU, the maximum acceptable uncertainty in the delivered dose compared to the prescribed dose should be lower than 5%, and this is because of the relationship between absorbed dose, tumor control and normal tissue damage. Absorbed dose accuracy is investiga...
