4DCT and CBCT based PTV margin in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy(SBRT) of non-small cell lung tumor adhered to chest wall or diaphragm
BACKGROUND Large tumor motion often leads to larger treatment volumes, especially the lung tumor located in lower lobe and adhered to chest wall or diaphragm. The purpose of this work is to investigate the impacts of planning target volume (PTV) margin on Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Subjects include 20 patients with the lung tumor locat...
متن کاملTarget repositional accuracy and PTV margin verification using three‐dimensional cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancers
The purpose of this study was to assess target repositional accuracy with respect to the bony structures using daily CBCT, and to validate the planning target volume (PTV) margin used in the lung SBRT. All patients underwent 4D CT scanning in preparation for lung SBRT. The internal target volume (ITV) was outlined from the reconstructed 4D data using the maximum-intensity projection (MIP) algor...
متن کاملThe heterogeneous CTV-PTV margins should be given for different parts of tumors during tomotherapy
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate CTV-PTV margins of tumors for tomotherapy. Methods Setup errors were analyzed for 151 patients receiving helical tomotherapy treatment. 53 patients had head and neck tumors, 45 had thoracic tumors, 20 had abdominal tumors, and 33 had pelvic tumors. The setup errors were calculated in six directions, i.e. +X (left), -X (right), +Y (head), -Y ...
متن کاملDoes intensity modulation increase target dose calculation errors of conventional algorithms for lung SBRT?
PURPOSE Conventional dose algorithms (Type A and Type B) for lung SBRT can display considerable target dose errors compared to Type-C algorithms. Intensity-modulated techniques (IMRT/VMAT) are increasingly being utilized for lung SBRT. Therefore, our study aimed to assess whether intensity modulation increased target dose calculation errors by conventional algorithms over conformal techniques. ...
متن کاملGTV-based prescription in SBRT for lung lesions using advanced dose calculation algorithms
BACKGROUND The aim of current study was to investigate the way dose is prescribed to lung lesions during SBRT using advanced dose calculation algorithms that take into account electron transport (type B algorithms). As type A algorithms do not take into account secondary electron transport, they overestimate the dose to lung lesions. Type B algorithms are more accurate but still no consensus is...
