Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) of the Breast and Lung
When Policy Topic is covered Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) may be considered medically necessary as a technique to deliver whole breast irradiation in patients receiving treatment for left-sided breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery when all the following conditions have been met: Significant cardiac radiation exposure cannot be avoided using alternative radiation techn...
متن کاملThe Quality Control of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for ONCOR Siemens Linear Accelerators Using Film Dosimetry
Introduction Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has made a significant progress in radiation therapy centers in recent years. In this method, each radiation beam is divided into many subfields that create a field with a modulated intensity. Considering the complexity of this method, the quality control for IMRT is a topic of interest for researchers. This article is about the various ...
متن کاملIntensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique for left breast cancer by different numbers of beam fields
Background: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) can improve radiotherapy (RT) results by improving healthy tissue sparing. Additionally, IMRT provides more consistent dose deliveries and suppresses secondary tumor formation. RT is a principal treatment in breast cancer (BC). Aim: To evaluate the outcome of the Radiotherapy Plans (RTP) that use IMRT technique to left breast and other organs,...
متن کاملTangential intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to the intact breast
INTRODUCTION Inverse-planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IP-IMRT) has potential benefits over other techniques for tangential intact breast radiotherapy. Possible benefits include increased homogeneity, faster planning time, less inter-planner variability and lower doses to organs at risk (OAR). We therefore conducted a pilot study of previously treated intact breast patients to comp...
