Dose Calculation Accuracy of Radiotherapy Treatment Planning Systems in Out-of-Field Regions

Unicystic Ameloblastoma: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a tumor of odontogenic origin. It is not a rare neoplasm and most often the lesion is asympthomatic. However, large lesions may cause painless swelling of the jaws. Here we report a case of unicystic ameloblastoma with pain, swelling of the posterior jaws along with teeth mobility. Samples of incisional biopsy of the lesion and also interaoperative frozen section were...

Assessment of out-of-field dose calculation algorithm by commercial treatment planning systems in IMRT and 3DCRT

Abstract Introduction: The accuracy an assessment of out- of- field dose due to secondary cancer risk is clinically important. Actually radiotherapy treatment planning systems are not commissioned for the out-of-field dose calculations, so the estimation of dose distributions by TPSs beyond the borders of treatment fields is not well calculate...

A comparison of two commercial treatment‐planning systems for IMRT

This study compared the clinical functionality of BrainSCAN (BrainLAB) and Helios (Eclipse, Varian) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning with the aim of identifying practical and technical issues. The study considered implementation and commissioning, dose optimization, and plan assessment. Both systems were commissioned for the same 6 MV photon beam equipped with...
