The Impact of Residual Geometric Inaccuracies on Normal Organ Doses in Image Guided-Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer Using On-Board Kilovoltage Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the variations in delivered dose to the bladder, rectum, and femoral heads of prostate cancer patients during a course of treatment by image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Materials and Methods: Overall, 15 patients with prostate cancer were selected and. Each week, for each patient five consecutive cone beam computed tomograph...
متن کاملImage-guided focal therapy for prostate cancer.
The adoption of routine prostate specific antigen screening has led to the discovery of many small and low-grade prostate cancers which have a low probability of causing mortality. These cancers, however, are often treated with radical therapies resulting in long-term side effects. There has been increasing interest in minimally invasive focal therapies to treat these tumors. While imaging moda...
متن کاملAdaptive radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Adaptive radiotherapy has been introduced to manage an individual's treatment by, including patient-specific treatment variation identified and quantified during the course of radiotherapy in the treatment planning and delivering optimization. Early studies have demonstrated that this technique could significantly improve the therapeutic ratio by safely reducing the large target margin that has...
متن کاملImage Guided Radiation Therapy
An overview of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), a true revolution in the field of radiation oncology in that it provides the unprecedented means of conforming to the shape of the target tissues in 3-dimensions, reducing the risk of complications thereby improving the quality of life of irradiated patients. Moreover, IMRT provides the means to deliver higher than conventional doses ...
