Virtual bolus for total body irradiation treated with helical tomotherapy
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for total body irradiation (TBI) is practiced in several centers using the TomoTherapy System. In this context the planning target volume (PTV) is the entire body including the skin. A safety margin in the air surrounding the body should be added to take into account setup errors. But using inverse planning, over-fluence peak could be generated in th...
متن کاملWhole Body Irradiation
munocompromised host, interaction between the microfloTa and the patient", again organized together with the Gnotobiotic Project GToup of EORTC. I am feeling somewhat like an outsider as I have to start from quite a different point of view than my colleagues, but I hope that 1 will be in touch with the general topic at the end.

متن کاملRheological properties of blood after whole body gamma-irradiation
Background: The study of rheological properties of blood has special interest since it is a circulating fluid exposed to shear rates during its life time. This work aims to investigate the influence of whole body gamma irradiation on the rheological properties of rat’s blood. The applied shear rate was from 12 to 375 s-1. Low shear viscosity (up to 100 s-1) depends mainly on the erythroc...
متن کاملLeft-Sided Whole Breast Irradiation with Hybrid-IMRT and Helical Tomotherapy Dosimetric Comparison
PURPOSE Limited-tomotherapy and hybrid-IMRT treatment techniques were compared for reductions in ipsilateral and contralateral lung, heart, and contralateral breast radiation doses. METHODS AND MATERIALS Thirty consecutively treated left-sided early-stage breast cancer patients were scheduled for lTomo and hIMRT. For the hIMRT plan conventional tangential-field and four-field IMRT plans were ...
متن کاملTotal Body Irradiation (TBI) using Helical Tomotherapy in children and young adults undergoing stem cell transplantation
BACKGROUND Establishing Total Body Irradiation (TBI) using Helical Tomotherapy (HT) to gain better control over dose distribution and homogeneity and to individually spare organs at risk. Because of their limited body length the technique seems especially eligible in juvenile patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The cohort consisted of 10 patients, 6 female and 4 male, aged 4 - 22 y with acute lymp...
