Dose-volume histogram prediction using density estimation.
Knowledge of what dose-volume histograms can be expected for a previously unseen patient could increase consistency and quality in radiotherapy treatment planning. We propose a machine learning method that uses previous treatment plans to predict such dose-volume histograms. The key to the approach is the framing of dose-volume histograms in a probabilistic setting.The training consists of esti...
متن کاملA study on the effect of detector resolution on gamma index passing rate for VMAT and IMRT QA
The main objectives of this study are to (1) analyze the sensitivity of various gamma index passing rates using different types of detectors having different resolutions and (2) investigate the sensitivity of various gamma criteria in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetrically modulated arc therapy (VMAT) quality assurance (QA) for the detection of systematic multileaf coll...
متن کاملA new homogeneity index based on statistical analysis of the dose–volume histogram
The goal of the present study was to develop a new dose-volume histogram (DVH)- based homogeneity index for effectively evaluating the dose homogeneity of intensity-modulated radiotherapy plans. The new index, called the sigma-index ("S-index") is defined as the standard deviation of the normalized differential DVH curve. In a study of 16 patients with brain tumors at our institution, the S-ind...
متن کاملGamma Dose Rate Measurement and Dose Rate Calculation for Sensitive Organs in the Vicinity of Hot Springs in Kerman Province
Introduction: All of the people worldwide are exposed to low levels of radiation. Cancer induction and genetic disorders are among the hazards of low level exposure. In some cases, radiation close to hot springs is higher than normal areas due to a high concentration and the decay products of Ra-226. Given the use of hot springs by the general public because of their therapeutic p...
متن کاملThree-dimensional gel dosimetry for dose volume histogram verification in compensator-based IMRT
Background: Some tissues in human body are radiobiologically different from water and these inhomogeneity must be considered in dose calculation in order to achieve an accurate dose delivery. Dose verification in complex radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) calls for volumetric, tissue equivalent and energy independent dosimeter. The purpose of this...
