Is internal target volume accurate for dose evaluation in lung cancer stereotactic body radiotherapy?
PURPOSE 4DCT delineated internal target volume (ITV) was applied to determine the tumor motion and used as planning target in treatment planning in lung cancer stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). This work is to study the accuracy of using ITV to predict the real target dose in lung cancer SBRT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both for phantom and patient cases, the ITV and gross tumor volumes (GTVs...
متن کاملThe Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...
متن کاملEvaluation of Lung Density and Its Dosimetric Impact on Lung Cancer Radiotherapy: A Simulation Study
Background: The dosimetric parameters required in lung cancer radiation therapy are taken from a homogeneous water phantom; however, during treatment, the expected results are being affected because of its inhomogeneity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to quantify these deviations.Objective: The present study has been undertaken to find out inter- and intra- lung density variations and its dosi...

متن کاملAutomatic Definition of Planning Target Volume in Computer-Assisted Radiotherapy
This paper describes a supporting tool for medical doctors, providing the automatic definition of radiation volumes (planning target volume, PTV) for conformal radiotherapy computed on detected tumor areas (gross tumor volume, GTV) within radiographic images. First, the recognized brain tumor is geometrically reconstructed and visualized in three-dimensional space. Then, the respective growth d...
