Margin 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 کاملDosimetry evaluation of salivary glands in 3D conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiotherapy in oral tongue cancer
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric and radiobiological parameters of salivary glands in treatment of patients with oral tongue cancer by 3D conventional radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on treatment planning of patients with oral tongue cancer in T2-3/N0 cancer s...
متن کاملThe evaluation of lung doses for radiation pneumonia risk in stereotactic body radiotherapy: A comparison of intensity modulated radiotherapy, intensity modulated arc therapy, cyberknife and helical tomotherapy
Background: Radiation Pneumonia (RP) is one of the most extensive side effects in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancer. SBRT are performed by means of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (IMAT), CyberKnife (CK) or Helical Tomotherapy (HT) treatment methods. In this study, we performed a plan study to determine the plan parameter such as the M...
متن کامل3-Dimensional conformal radiotherapy versus intensity modulated radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer: Dosimetric and radiobiologic analysis
Background: To analyze the dosimetric and radio biologic advantages between intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and selection of optimal photon energy for IMRT treatments. Material and methods: 24 patients with localized prostate carcinoma were planned for 3DCRT and IMRT techniques. Radiation dose of 54 Gy with 2 Gy/fraction, was planned to ...
متن کاملDetermination of patient set-up error and optimal treatment margin for intensity modulated radiotherapy using image guidance system.
PURPOSE The geometrical uncertainties in the patient positioning during intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) are crucial as there is potential to underdose the tumor and overdose the nearby critical structures. Image guided techniques provide a solution to assess the patient set-up uncertainties and help determine the optimal planning target volume (PTV) margin to the clinical tumor volume (...
