Comparison of PET/CT and CT-based tumor delineation and its effects on the radiation treatment planning for non-small cell lung cancer
Introduction: Tumor volume delineation is the most important step in the radiation treatment planning. In this study the impact of PET/CT data on the tumor delineation precision of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated. Methods: PET/CT images of 20 patients with primary NSCLC were obtained and imported to the treatment planning system for im...
متن کاملDual-Energy CT Imaging of Tumor Liposome Delivery After Gold Nanoparticle-Augmented Radiation Therapy
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are emerging as promising agents for both cancer therapy and computed tomography (CT) imaging. AuNPs absorb x-rays and subsequently release low-energy, short-range photoelectrons during external beam radiation therapy (RT), increasing the local radiation dose. When AuNPs are near tumor vasculature, the additional radiation dose can lead to increased vascular permeabil...
متن کاملDevelopment of MR-Only Planning for Prostate Radiation Therapy Using Synthetic CT
The department of Radiation Oncology at Calvary Mater Newcastle, treats approximately 1,800 new patients per year. When it comes to prostate treatments, MR scans are used in addition to CT for treatment planning. Having to undergo two scans however is a burden both to patients as well as the health system. We have looked into addressing this by replacing the CT by an MR-only workflow when treat...
متن کاملMolecular PET/CT imaging-guided radiation therapy treatment planning.
The role of positron emission tomography (PET) during the past decade has evolved rapidly from that of a pure research tool to a methodology of enormous clinical potential. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET is currently the most widely used probe in the diagnosis, staging, assessment of tumor response to treatment, and radiation therapy planning because metabolic changes generally precede the ...
متن کاملMultiscale registration of planning CT and daily cone beam CT images for adaptive radiation therapy.
Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) is the incorporation of daily images in the radiotherapy treatment process so that the treatment plan can be evaluated and modified to maximize the amount of radiation dose to the tumor while minimizing the amount of radiation delivered to healthy tissue. Registration of planning images with daily images is thus an important component of ART. In this article, th...
