Volume Target Delineation for Brain Tumor in Mri Images Using Active Contour Segmentation Method
Radiotherapy is a tumor treatment process using high dose of radiation. Hence, it is essential that radiotherapy is carefully planned with a Treatment Planning System (TPS). The first step in TPS is delineation that aims to get a better picture of the tumor and the target volume value. This research investigated volume target delineation for brain tumor against the MRI image of the head in axia...
متن کاملAn investigation into the range dependence of target delineation strategies for stereotactic lung radiotherapy
BACKGROUND The "gold standard" approach for defining an internal target volume (ITV) is using 10 gross tumor volume (GTV) phases delineated over the course of one respiratory cycle. However, different sites have adopted several alternative techniques which compress all temporal information into one CT image set to optimize work flow efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternati...
متن کاملEvaluation of methods of co-segmentation on PET/CT images of lung tumor: simulation study
Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Nowadays PET/CT plays an essential role in radiotherapy planning specially for lung tumors as it provides anatomical and functional information simultaneously that is effective in accurate tumor delineation. The optimal segmentation method has not been introduced yet, however several ...
متن کاملNanomedicine Strategies to Target Tumor-Associated Macrophages
In recent years, the influence of the tumor microenvironment (TME) on cancer progression has been better understood. Macrophages, one of the most important cell types in the TME, exist in different subtypes, each of which has a different function. While classically activated M1 macrophages are involved in inflammatory and malignant processes, activated M2 macrophages are more involved in the wo...
متن کاملComparison of different methods of incorporating respiratory motion for lung cancer tumor volume delineation on PET images: a simulation study.
The interest of PET complementary information for the delineation of the target volume in radiotherapy of lung cancer is increasing. However, respiratory motion requires the determination of a functional internal target volume (ITV) on PET images for which several strategies have been proposed. The purpose of this study was the comparison of these strategies for taking into account respiratory ...
