[Influence of daily set-up errors on dose distribution during pelvis radiotherapy].
An external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) using megavoltage beam of linear accelerator is usually the treatment of choice in cancer patients. The goal of EBRT is to deliver the prescribed dose to the target volume, with as low as possible dose to the surrounding healthy tissue. A large number of procedures and different professions involved in radiotherapy, uncertainty of equipment and daily patient...
متن کاملEffect of daily setup errors on individual dose distribution in conventional radiotherapy: an initial study.
Recent linear accelerators can perform cone-beam computed tomography to correct setup errors immediately before dose delivery. We calculated the dose distribution with setup errors acquired from cone-beam computed tomography to determine a more realistic and individual effect of setup errors. The differences in dose distribution were analyzed. The setup errors of three patients who were irradia...
متن کاملDaily on-line set-up correction in 3D-conformal radiotherapy: is it feasible?
AIMS AND BACKGROUND The aim of this report was to investigate the feasibility in terms of treatment time prolongation of an on-line no-action level correction protocol, based on daily electronic portal image verification. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN The occupation of a linear accelerator (LINAC) delivering 3-D conformal treatments was monitored for two weeks (from Monday to Friday, 10 working da...
متن کاملMargin evaluation of translational and rotational set-up errors in intensity modulated radiotherapy for cervical cancer.
A clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) margin recipes was routinely used to ensure dose was actually delivered to target for all (most) patients. Currently used margin recipes were associated with only translational set-up errors in radiotherapy. However, when set-up errors extended to six-degree (6D) scope (three translational and three rotational set-up errors), margin...
متن کاملEffect of uniform magnetic field on dose distribution in the breast radiotherapy
Background: To reduce the dose to normal tissues surrounding the treated breast, a uniform magnetic field was used within a humanoid phantom in breast radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Monte Carlo simulations were performed with GEANT4, irradiating humanoid phantoms in a magnetic field. To reconstruct phantoms, computed tomography (CT) data slices of four patients were used for the Monte Car...
