Literature Review on IMRT and VMAT for Prostate Cancer
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is considered to be one of the options to treat the prostate cancer. Due to advanced development in EBRT such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), it is possible to deliver conformal dose to the target while minimizing dose to the organs at risk (OAR). The VMAT can deliver modulated radiation beam wit...
متن کامل3D EPID-based in vivo dosimetry for IMRT and VMAT
In this paper the various approaches of EPID-based in vivo IMRT and VMAT dose verification, and their clinical implementation, are described. It will be shown that EPID-based in vivo dosimetry plays an important role in the total chain of verification procedures in a radiotherapy department. EPID-based dosimetry, in combination with in-room imaging, is a fast and accurate tool for 3D in vivo ve...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Delta4 phantom for IMRT and VMAT verification.
The Delta(4) diode array phantom (Scandidos, Uppsala, Sweden) was evaluated for verification of segmental intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) on an Elekta linear accelerator (Crawley UK). The device was tested for angular sensitivity by irradiating it from 36 different gantry angles, and the responses of the device to various step-and-shoot s...
متن کاملAn IMRT/VMAT Technique for Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer
The study is to investigate a Hybrid IMRT/VMAT technique which combines intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two partial arcs VMAT, 5-field IMRT, and hybrid plans were created for 15 patients with NSCLC. The hybrid plans were combination of 2 partial arcs VMAT and 5-field IMRT. The dose d...
متن کاملAcute toxicity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with IMRT/VMAT.
PURPOSE To evaluate acute toxicity in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)/volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with or without cisplatin-based chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 newly diagnosed, histologically proven non-metastatic NPC patients treated with IMRT between May 2010 and December 2012, were evaluated retrospec...
