Evaluation of initial setup errors of two immobilization devices for lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy and efficacy of two commonly used commercial immobilization systems for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in lung cancer. This retrospective study assessed the efficacy and setup accuracy of two immobilization systems: the Elekta Body Frame (EBF) and the Civco Body Pro-Lok (CBP) in 80 patients evenly divided for each system. A cone ...
متن کاملBioelectrical Impedance versus Body Mass Index for Predicting Body Composition Parameters in Sedentary Job Women
Objective: Nowadays the value of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in the estimation of body adiposity both on a clinical basis in the individual and epidemiologically in large populations is of great interest. The current study determine accuracy of BIA compared with body mass index (BMI) measurement for estimating body composition in a group of normal weight employee women with a sedenta...

متن کاملDosimetric comparison of patient setup strategies in stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung cancer.
PURPOSE In this work, the authors retrospectively compared the accumulated dose over the treatment course for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of lung cancer for three patient setup strategies. METHODS Ten patients who underwent lung SBRT were selected for this study. At each fraction, patients were immobilized using a vacuum cushion and were CT scanned. Treatment plans were perform...
متن کاملBody mass index can affect gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity in patients with prostate cancer treated with external beam radiation therapy
The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of obesity on radiation-induced gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity. The cases of 54 patients with prostate cancer, treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (RT), were reviewed. For each patient, the body mass index (BMI), distance between the prostate and rectum (D) on a computerised tomography scan an...
