The comparison of dose distribution of different 3D conformal and conventional radiotherapy plans for gastric cancer
Aims: It was aimed to investigate postoperative conformal radiotherapy planning that provides the best target volume and the least dose for critical organs in cancers of stomach. Methods: This study was conducted on the CT simulation images of thirty patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. Target volumes and the organs at risk were contoured. AP-PA reciprocal parallel field conventional plan an...
متن کاملDose Distribution Analysis of Rapid Arc and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Plan in Head and Neck Cancer
Introduction: Globally, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is considered as highly precise and accurate method of radiotherapy planning. This technique amplifies spatial dose distribution conformity by modulating the intensity of radiation beams in each sub-volume. Additionally, it can reduces the dose to surrounding critical organs and deliver the planned dose to targets with the nom...
متن کاملRecurrence patterns of locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma after 3D conformal (chemo)-radiotherapy
BACKGROUND To establish recurrence patterns among locally advanced head and neck non-nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients treated with radical (chemo-) radiotherapy and to correlate the sites of loco-regional recurrence with radiotherapy doses and target volumes METHOD 151 locally advanced HNSCC patients were treated between 2004-2005 using radical three-dimensional conform...
متن کاملThyroid dose and dose reduction method from CT scan of head and neck
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) consists of 11% of all imaging methods, but accounts for approximately 67% of radiation exposure due to diagnostic cases. More than one-third of all CT scans are done in the head and neck area. The thyroid gland is irradiated during CT head and neck. According to studies, this gland has the highest levels of radiation-induced cancer, and i...
متن کاملFocal 3D conformal high-dose hypofractionated radiotherapy for brain metastases.
The optimal management of patients with few brain metastases is complex. On one hand, stereotactic radiation therapy is a keystone of treatment but is only applicable to highly selected patients fulfilling specific criteria who have access to an adequate radiation unit. On the other, whole-brain radiation therapy may improve survival, but deleterious effects on neurocognitive functions are well...
