Dose Distribution Analysis of Rapid Arc and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Plan in Head and Neck Cancer
Introduction: Globally, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is considered as highly precise and accurate method of radiotherapy planning. This technique amplifies spatial dose distribution conformity by modulating the intensity of radiation beams in each sub-volume. Additionally, it can reduces the dose to surrounding critical organs and deliver the planned dose to targets with the nom...
متن کامل3D-conformal-intensity modulated radiotherapy with compensators for head and neck cancer: clinical results of normal tissue sparing
BACKGROUND To investigate the potential of parotic gland sparing of intensity modulated radiotherapy (3D-c-IMRT) performed with metallic compensators for head and neck cancer in a clinical series by analysis of dose distributions and clinical measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS 39 patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck irradiated using 3D-c-IMRT were evaluable for dose distributi...
متن کاملDosimetry evaluation of salivary glands in 3D conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiotherapy in oral tongue cancer
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric and radiobiological parameters of salivary glands in treatment of patients with oral tongue cancer by 3D conventional radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on treatment planning of patients with oral tongue cancer in T2-3/N0 cancer s...
متن کاملPattern of Gustatory Impairment and Its Recovery after Head and Neck Irradiation
Introduction: Themajority of patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy frequently complain of changes in their taste perception, and other distressing symptoms affecting their quality of life. This study was undertaken to determine the pattern of gustatory impairment and its recovery in irradiated head and neck cancer patients in India. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients undergoing ...
متن کاملPatterns of local-regional recurrence after conformal and intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer
AIM To evaluate the patterns of loco-regional recurrences in head and neck cancer patients METHODS: Twenty-six out of 112 patients treated with primary or postoperative 3D CRT or IMRT for their primary and recurrent disease between 2007 and 2013 were included. The CT images of recurrent disease were rigidly registered with the primary CT images for each patient. To assess overlaps and overlap l...
