Other new radiotherapy techniques

Imaging for new radiotherapy techniques

Radiotherapy could be considerably improved by the recent development of three-dimensional intensity-modulated radiation therapy. This technique allows the concept of so-called dose painting or adaptive dose distribution to be implemented with improved aligning of the dose distribution along the complex geometric arrangements of the tumour and the surround healthy critical structures. This enab...

[Radiobiological pitfalls of new techniques in radiotherapy].

Radiotherapy techniques in the last decade evolved to the stage where the potential dose distribution significantly differs from earlier practices. Rotational IMRT, robotic radiotherapy or proton radiotherapy enables extremely precise dose delivery to target volumes, on the other hand, these techniques can yield a number of problems. As for photon radiotherapy, this concerns primarily the effec...

Radiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumours

ABSTRACTIntracranial tumours often require radiotherapeutic approaches that differ from other sites. Their specific requirements merit a specialized discussion. A brief review of radiotherapy techniques to treat intracranial tumours is presented with emphasis on the author’s own experience and work, where appropriate. A clinical introduction is presented first followed by a description of bot...

Expert Systems And Other New Techniques In MT Systems

Our MT systems integrate many advanced concepts from the fields of computer science, linguistics, and AI : specialized languages for linguistic programming based on production systems, complete linguistic programming environment, multilevel representations, organization of the lexicons around "lexical units", units of translation of the size of several paragraphs, possibility of using text-driv...
