Quantification of Partial Volume Effects in Salivary Glands SPECT Images after Radiation Therapy of Head and Neck Tumors
Introduction: Radical radiation therapy of head and neck cancers may injure the salivary glands and reduce their function. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images maybe used to evaluate function post-therapy. However, accurate quantification is hindered by the partial volume effects (PVEs). The present study involved the introduction of a PVEs quantif...
متن کاملOptimization of Bremsstrahlung imaging in Yttrium internal radiation therapy
Introduction: Treatment efficacy of radiation therapy using Yttrium-90 radionuclide is evaluated by the bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging following radiation therapy. The radioisotopic images have the ability to provide reliable activity map of 90Y distribution. But these images have a low quantitative accuracy in the 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging, therefore the optimization of...
متن کاملClinical results of stereotactic body frame based fractionated radiation therapy for primary or metastatic thoracic tumors.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes of stereotactic body radiation therapy for treating primary or metastatic thoracic tumors using a stereotactic body frame. Between January 1998 and February 2004, 101 lesions from 91 patients with thoracic tumors were prospectively reviewed. A dose of 10-12 Gy per fraction was given three to four times over consecutive days to a total...
متن کاملThoracic radiation therapy: dosage and techniques
Combination chemotherapy (CC) deserves credit for the increase in survival for patients with limited small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the best CC is not clearly established. The definition of limited disease and the work-up to define limited disease has evolved over the last 20 years. Imaging studies are now more sophisticated (MRI and CT scan) and used more frequently. Although there is...
متن کاملMRI as a complementary tool in motion management for patients undergoing radiation therapy for thoracic tumors
TARGET AUDIENCE: To assist radiation oncologists and medical physicists in determining treatment margins to fully estimate tumor motion in the thorax. PURPOSE: Conventionally, margins for mobile tumors in the thorax are derived from the 4DCT treatment planning images. These images are acquired in ~1 min to avoid excessive radiation to patients. In contrast, the duration of the radiation treatme...
