Gross tumor volume dependency on phase sorting methods of four-dimensional computed tomography images for lung cancer
PURPOSE To see the gross tumor volume (GTV) dependency according to the phase selection and reconstruction methods, we measured and analyzed the changes of tumor volume and motion at each phase in 20 cases with lung cancer patients who underwent image-guided radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) images in 20 cases of 19 pa...
متن کاملDetermination of patient-specific internal gross tumor volumes for lung cancer using four-dimensional computed tomography
BACKGROUND To determine the optimal approach to delineating patient-specific internal gross target volumes (IGTV) from four-dimensional (4-D) computed tomography (CT) image data sets used in the planning of radiation treatment for lung cancers. METHODS We analyzed 4D-CT image data sets of 27 consecutive patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (stage I: 17, stage III: 10). The IGTV, defined t...
متن کاملApplication of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging fusion images for delineating gross tumor volume in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Background: To evaluate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion images for delineating gross tumor volume (GTV) in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) of nasophanrygeal carcinoma (NPC), and compare treatment outcomes between CT- and CT+MRI-based targets. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 NPC patients treated with 3D-CRT were included, in which, 60 ...
متن کاملComparison of gross tumor volume of primary oesophageal cancer based on contrast-enhanced three-dimensional, four-dimensional, and cone beam computed tomography
Background To explore motion information included in 3DCT, 4DCT and CBCT by comparing volumetric and positional differences of GTV. Results Independent of tumor location, significant differences were observed among volumes [IGTV10 > (IGTVCBCT or IGTVMIP) > (GTV3D or GTV4D50)]. The underestimations or overestimations between IGTV10 and IGTVCBCT were larger than those between IGTV10 and IGTVMIP...
متن کاملEfficient approach for determining four-dimensional computed tomography-based internal target volume in stereotactic radiotherapy of lung cancer
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate efficient approaches for determining internal target volume (ITV) from four-dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) images used in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS 4D CT images were analyzed for 15 patients who received SBRT for stage I NSCLC. Three different IT...
