Image-Guided High-Dose-Rate (HDR) Boost Localization Using MRI/MR Spectroscopy: A Correlation Study with Biopsy
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the blind interpretations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), mapping, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the prostate, in comparison to prostate biopsy to identify a valid dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) for dose escalation using high-dose rate brach...
متن کاملImage guided radiation therapy boost in combination with high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy for the treatment of cervical cancer
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the dosimetric and clinical feasibility of image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) combined with high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) to improve dose distribution in cervical cancer treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS For 42 cervical cancer patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were acquired after completion of whole...
متن کاملHigh dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy quality assurance: a practical guide
The widespread adoption of high dose rate brachytherapy with its inherent dangers necessitates adoption of appropriate quality assurance measures to minimize risks to both patients and medical staff. This paper is aimed at assisting someone who is establishing a new program or revising one already in place into adhere to the recently issued Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USA) regulations and th...
متن کاملImage-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy of head and neck – a case series study
PURPOSE The aim of the study was the evaluation of image guided transdermal application of interstitial brachytherapy in patients undergoing repeated irradiation for relapsed local tumor of the head and neck area. MATERIAL AND METHODS The article describes transdermal application of interstitial high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy in 4 patients treated due to relapsed local tumor in soft palat...
متن کاملCorrelation between treatment plan parameters and particular prognostic factors in prostate cancer treated with high–dose–rate brachytherapy (HDR–BT) as a boost
PURPOSE Certain constraints for target coverage and dose limits in Organs at Risk (OARs) shows some evidence that doses values and homogeneity index in treated volume depends on prognostic factors such as prostate volume, location of urethra and the number of inserted applicators. Our study is to determine the relation between values of the doses in prostate, OARs and particular prognostic fact...
