Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lung Lesions using Multiple Phase 3D-CT Based on the Analysis of Radiobiological Parameters
Introduction: Planning target volume (PTV) is generated from internal treatment volume (ITV) using four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) for enhanced therapeutic gain in the stereotactic body radiotherapy for lung lesions (SBRT-Lung). This study aimed to propose a strategy to generate ITV on multiple-phase 3D-CT and enhance therapeutic gain in SBRT-Lung. <stron...
متن کاملA fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study
Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of the feasibility of stereotactic body radiotherapy for primary lung cancer with lobe-specific selective elective nodal irradiation
More than 10% of all patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for primary lung cancer develop regional lymph node recurrence. We evaluated the dosimetric feasibility of SBRT with lobe-specific selective elective nodal irradiation (ENI) on dose-volume histograms. A total of 21 patients were treated with SBRT for Stage I primary lung cancer between January 2010 and June 2012 at...
متن کاملStereotactic ablative radiotherapy for lung cancer
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), which is also referred to as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), is defined as “the precise irradiation of an image defined extra-cranial lesion associated with the use of high radiation dose in a small number of fractions”. SABR is a relatively recent advance in the treatment of small peripheral non-small cell lung tumours. The concept of SABR was ...
متن کاملStereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for lung cancer.
Lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a method of delivering high 'ablative' doses of radiotherapy to tumours in the lung. It was developed at the Karolinska Institute in the early 1990s using the methods established in cranial radiosurgery with multiple beams prescribed to an isodose and using a custom designed stereotactic body frame for immobilisation. Since then, aligned with th...
