Dynamic MLC Tracking Using 4D Lung Tumor Motion Modelling and EPID Feedback
Background: Respiratory motion causes thoracic movement and reduces targeting accuracy in radiotherapy. Objective: This study proposes an approach to generate a model to track lung tumor motion by controlling dynamic multi-leaf collimators. Material and Methods: All slices which contained tumor were contoured in the 4D-CT images for...
متن کاملA quantitative investigation on lung tumor site on its motion tracking in radiotherapy with external surrogates
Introduction: In external beam radiotherapy each effort is done to deliver 3D dose distribution onto the tumor volume uniformly, while minimizing the dose to healthy organs at the same time. Radiation treatment of tumors located at thorax region such as lung and liver has a challenging issue during target localization since these tumors move mainly due to respiration. There are...
متن کاملThe impact of MLC transmitted radiation on EPID dosimetry for dynamic MLC beams.
The purpose of this study was to experimentally quantify the change in response of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) electronic portal imaging device (EPID) to dynamic multileaf collimator (dMLC) beams with varying MLC-transmitted dose components and incorporate the response into a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) EPID prediction model. A combination of uniform intensity dMLC beams and stat...
متن کاملIMRT Treatment Planning on 4D Geometries for the Era of Dynamic MLC Tracking
The problem addressed here was to obtain optimal and deliverable dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf sequences from four-dimensional (4D) geometries for dynamic MLC tracking delivery. The envisaged scenario was where respiratory phase and position information of the target was available during treatment, from which the optimal treatment plan could be further adapted in real time. A tool for...
متن کاملTracking of Tumor Motion in Lung Cancer Using Patient Specific Finite Element Modeling and 4d-mri Image Data
This paper presents a study that demonstrates the potential of using finite element (FE) lung model constructed using 4D-MRI (3D + time) for tracking tumor motion during a respiratory cycle. A series of volumetric images of one lung cancer patient was acquired over time under free breathing and sorted into respiratory phases. A FE model of the lung with the tumor was constructed using the volum...
