Using PSO algorithm optimization for planning 103Pd seeds brachytherapy positions
Radiation therapy, is one of the treatments for cancer. Brachytherapy is a radiotherapeutic technique that a sealed radiation source is placed inside or next to the tissue and has become a mainstream treatment option for cancer. Achieving maximum dose to the gland as well as minimum injury to the adjacent tissues is a basic principle in radiation therapy. Sources configuration must be designed ...
متن کاملLocalizing prostate brachytherapy seeds with SGM
Introduction Brachytherapy is a common radiation treatment option for prostate cancer, in which many small radioactive seeds are implanted into the prostate gland under image guidance [1]. Precise knowledge of the prostate volume and the distribution of the seeds are required for accurate radiotherapy dosimetry. Imaging modalities like 2D X-ray or computed tomography allow precise seed localiza...
متن کاملThe Effect of Scattering from Leg Region on Organ Doses in Prostate Brachytherapy for 103Pd, 125I and 131Cs Seeds
Introduction Dose calculation of tumor and surrounding tissues is essential during prostate brachytherapy. Three radioisotopes, namely, 125I, 103Pd, and 131Cs, are extensively used in this method. In this study, we aimed to calculate the received doses by the prostate and critical organs using the aforementioned radioactive seeds and to investigate the effect of scattering contribution for the ...
متن کاملModification of Source Strength in Low-Dose-Rate Lung Brachytherapy with 125I and 103Pd seeds
Background:Â A new treatment approach for most patients who have undergone early stage non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), is wedge resection plus permanent implant brachytherapy. However, the specification of dose to medium at low energies especially in heterogeneous lung is unclear yet.Objective:Â The present study aims to modify source strength for different configurations of 125I and 103...
