Towards Personalized Imaging in Image-guided Radiotherapy
Recently, with the advent of linear accelerators equipped with on-board x-ray images and advanced imaging technologies, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) has gained worldwide momentum in the radio therapeutic management of cancers in terms of volumetric information-based accurate tumor localization, real-time patient setup and margin reduction [1,2]. The involved technologies include digital rad...
متن کاملEditorial: Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Effective Radiotherapy Delivery
During most of the last century, verification of patient position on the radiotherapy treatment table was considered adequate if exposed on a photographic film by a megavoltage beam. It was a general standard to expose such a film once a week, to be approved by a radiation oncologist. The latter approved it after comparison to a kilovoltage simulation film exposed at the time of initial setup o...
متن کاملImage-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کاملSystem for MRI guided Radiotherapy
The adverse side effects of gamma-ray radiotherapy can be reduced significantly by combining the treatment system with a real-time imaging system, used to precisely steer the radiation beam. MRI is a particularly attractive imaging modality for this, due to its excellent soft tissue contrast. A project is underway to combine a cylindrical, closed bore high-field MRI system with a 6 MeV Linac ra...
متن کاملDynamic targeting image-guided radiotherapy.
Volumetric imaging and planning for 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) have highlighted the need to the oncology community to better understand the geometric uncertainties inherent in the radiotherapy delivery process, including setup error (interfraction) as well as organ motion during treatment (intrafraction). This has ushered in the develop...
