Predictive 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 کاملDosimetric Comparison of Two Craniospinal Radiotherapy Techniques for Treatment Optimization
Introduction: Orthogonal radial fields are those in which the central axes are perpendicular to each other. An example of these orthogonal fields is the set of craniospinal orthogonal fields that are used for radiotherapy of medulloblastoma. Craniospinal radial fields consist of two parallel-opposed fields for brain exposure and one or two posterior spinal fields for spinal cord exposure. The m...
متن کاملRobust fluoroscopic respiratory gating for lung cancer radiotherapy without implanted fiducial markers.
For gated lung cancer radiotherapy, it is difficult to generate accurate gating signals due to the large uncertainties when using external surrogates and the risk of pneumothorax when using implanted fiducial markers. We have previously investigated and demonstrated the feasibility of generating gating signals using the correlation scores between the reference template image and the fluoroscopi...
متن کاملRespiratory Gating during Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer Reduces Tumor Position Variability
PURPOSE We evaluated the effects of respiratory gating on treatment accuracy in lung cancer patients undergoing lung stereotactic body radiotherapy by using electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population consisted of 30 lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (48 Gy/4 fractions/4 to 9 days). Of these, 14 were treated with- (...
متن کاملBreathing adapted radiotherapy: a 4D gating software for lung cancer
PURPOSE Physiological respiratory motion of tumors growing in the lung can be corrected with respiratory gating when treated with radiotherapy (RT). The optimal respiratory phase for beam-on may be assessed with a respiratory phase optimizer (RPO), a 4D image processing software developed with this purpose. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fourteen patients with lung cancer were included in the study. E...
