The Efficiency of Respiratory-gated 18F-FDG PET/CT in Lung Adenocarcinoma: Amplitude-gating Versus Phase-gating Methods
Objective(s): In positron emission tomography (PET) studies, thoracic movement under free-breathing conditions is a cause of image degradation. Respiratory gating (RG) is commonly used to solve this problem. Two different methods, i.e., phase-gating (PG) and amplitude-gating (AG) PET, are available for respiratory gating. It is important to know the strengths and weaknesses of both methods when...
متن کاملPredictive factors for lung dose reduction by respiratory gating at radiotherapy for lung cancer.
This study aimed to identify factors predictive of the benefit of respiratory-gated radiotherapy. Three plans were created for 25 patients with non-small cell lung cancer, simulating the following 3 treatment scenarios. Protocol 1 was non-gated and the lung dose was calculated using 4-s slow CT (PnA), protocol 2 was also non-gated and the lung dose was calculated by CT at the end-expiration pha...
متن کاملSurvival Rate of Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Larynx Undergoing Nonsurgical Treatments and Radiotherapy, From 2003 to 2015
Background:The incidence rate of head and neck cancer in the world is about 560,000 new cases a year. Larynx cancer is the most common malignancy in head and neck in Iran. The most common head and neck carcinoma is the malignancy of squamous epithelial cells. This study was conducted to determine the survival rate of patients undergoing nonsurgical treatment methods for larynge...
متن کاملRadiotherapy alone for patients with operable carcinoma of the lung.
Between 1966 and 1980, 72 patients with operable carcinoma of the lung were treated primarily with radiotherapy because coexisting, nontumor related medical problem, or patient refusal prevented thoracotomy. We compared results obtained in this group with results obtained by thoracotomy in 123 consecutive patients over the age of 70, who were assessed in a similar fashion, but who underwent tho...
متن کاملThe application of active respiratory gating technology in lung cancer radiotherapy
Objective: The technology of ABC ( Active Breathing Control) was used in breath-holding time in order to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy for lung cancer patients, and the influence of respiratory movement on diaphragm motion was analyzed and evaluated, in addition the feasibility and limitation of ABC was also assessed. Methods: 15 lung cancer patients were selected for the training of ABC...
