An image guided small animal stereotactic radiotherapy system
Small animal radiotherapy studies should be performed preferably on irradiators capable of focal tumor irradiation and healthy tissue sparing. In this study, an image guided small animal arc radiation treatment system (iSMAART) was developed which can achieve highly precise radiation targeting through the utilization of onboard cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance. The iSMAART employs ...
متن کاملImplications of respiratory motion for small animal image-guided radiotherapy
Image-guided small animal irradiators have the potential to make a significant impact on facilitating the translation of radiobiological research into the clinic. To fully exploit the improved precision in dose delivery to the target/tumour while minimizing dose to surrounding tissues, minimal positional error in the target is required. However, for many sites within the thorax and abdomen, res...
متن کاملSmall animal image-guided radiotherapy: status, considerations and potential for translational impact.
Radiation biology is being transformed by the implementation of small animal image-guided precision radiotherapy into pre-clinical research programmes worldwide. We report on the current status and developments of the small animal radiotherapy field, suggest criteria for the design and execution of effective studies and contend that this powerful emerging technology, used in combination with re...
متن کاملImage-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کاملDevelopment of an image-guided robot for small animal research.
We developed a robot system that can be used for image-guided experimental procedures on small animals, where the goal is to perform physical actions at specific positions identified on a preoperative image. The animal is first placed in a fixture that is compatible with all imaging systems of interest, including PET, SPECT, CT and MRI. After imaging, the fixture is attached and registered to t...
