Optimization 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 کاملAdvances in imaging for liver cancer radiation therapy
Radiotherapy for liver cancer treatment Primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] and intrahepatic cholangio carcinoma) and liver metastases are a leading global cause of morbidity in an increased number of patients [101]. Surgical resection of hepatic metastasis can cure selected patients with iso‐ lated liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Fong et al. [1] demonstrated a 30% 5‐y...
متن کاملImaging in Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy, often called radiotherapy, can be defined as the use of high-energy radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, electrons, protons and neutrons to kill cancer cells and reduce the size of tumors. Shortly after the discovery of the x-ray by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen and radioactivity by Marie and Pierre Curie about 100 years ago, the mysterious and powerful radiations were being used ...
متن کاملComparison of radiotherapy techniques to reduce hematologic toxicity in whole pelvic radiation therapy
Introduction: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a standard treatment method for patients with carcinoma of cervix. Despite admirable therapeutic results, acute hematologic toxicity (HT) is common with this regimen. Many studies evaluate the relationship between the bone marrow dosimetric parameters and the severity of HT and result shown that the low dose of bone marrow wou...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiation therapy for liver metastases and primary hepatocellular carcinoma: normal tissue tolerances and toxicity.
BACKGROUND There is growing interest in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as a noninvasive means of treating inoperable hepatic metastases and primary intrahepatic hepatobiliary carcinomas. While initial outcomes are encouraging, the safety of delivering such large, ablative doses is still being studied. METHODS We compiled all dose-volume constraints from seven prospective trials of...
