Investigation of the dose enhancement effect of spherical bismuth oxide nanoparticles in external beam radiotherapy
Introduction: External radiotherapy is the most common method of radiotherapy which the most important problem associated with is that there is no difference between healthy and tumor tissues in dose absorption. One way to differentiate the dose sensitivity is to use metal-based nanoparticles. Bismuth oxide nanoparticles are good candidates for cancer radiotherapy. In this study, we investigate...
متن کاملDosimetric Evaluation of Target Volume in Breast Boost Radiotherapy: Comparison of Electron and Photon Beam
Background and purpose: Breast‑conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy to the whole breast is now recognized as a standard strategy in patients with breast cancer. Recommended technique for radiotherapy is whole breast irradiation followed by boost to the tumor bed. This study aimed to compare the dosimetric parameters of electron and photon beams for boosting irradiation in post‑lump...
متن کاملAbstractID: 1109 Title: Integral Dose in External Beam Photon Radiotherapy
ID: 1109 Title: Integral Dose in External Beam Photon Radiotherapy Integral dose is the volume integral of the dose deposited in the patient and is equal to the mean dose times the volume. The integral dose is also the area under the curve of a differential dose absolute-volume histogram. It is widely believed that IMRT increases the integral dose to normal tissues as compared to conventional r...
متن کامل3D dose reconstruction in external beam radiotherapy using portal imaging
The verification of the dose delivered to a patient during radiation therapy is a particularly important step for ensuring treatment quality. This step, known as in vivo dosimetry can be realized using a bidimensional dosimeter named Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID). However, few methods enable the determination of an accurate and fully personalized 3D dose distribution for the most curr...
متن کاملDefining a dose-response relationship for prostate external beam radiotherapy.
INTRODUCTION We aimed to quantify a relationship between radiotherapy dose and freedom from biochemical failure (FFBF) in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer. To reduce confounding we used data with a standardised end-point, mature follow-up, low competing risk of metastatic failure, conventional fractionation and separate reporting for outcomes with hormonal therapy (HT). METHODS A sy...
