The dosimetric effect of inhomogeneity correction in dynamic conformal arc stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung tumors
For patients treated with lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using dynamic conformal arcs, the influence of inhomogeneity correction (IC) on normal tissue and tumor dosimetry was studied. For the same numbers of monitor units, the planning target volume equivalent uniform doses calculated without path-length IC were lower than those calculated with IC (mean difference 18%, range 1-...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiation therapy for centrally-located lung tumors
The application of high-dose irradiation to centrally-located lung tumors is generally considered to be of high risk in causing bronchial injury. The aim of the present retrospective study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with centrally-located lung tumors. In total, 28 patients who underwent SBRT for lung tumors within 2 cm o...
متن کاملDynamic Lung Tumor Tracking for Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy
Physicians considering stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of extracranial cancer targets must be aware of the sizeable risks for normal tissue injury and the hazards of physical tumor miss. A first-of-its-kind SBRT platform achieves high-precision ablative radiation treatment through a combination of versatile real-time imaging solutions and sophisticated tumo...
متن کاملVolumetric-modulated Arc Therapy Lung Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Dosimetric Quality Assurance: A Comparison between Radiochromic Film and Chamber Array
INTRODUCTION The aim of this work is to verify the use of radiochromic film in the quality assurance (QA) of volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) plans and compare the results with those obtained using an ion chamber array. MATERIALS AND METHODS QA was performed for 14 plans using a two-dimensional-array seven29 and EBT3 film. Dose values per...
متن کاملThe evaluation of lung doses for radiation pneumonia risk in stereotactic body radiotherapy: A comparison of intensity modulated radiotherapy, intensity modulated arc therapy, cyberknife and helical tomotherapy
Background: Radiation Pneumonia (RP) is one of the most extensive side effects in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancer. SBRT are performed by means of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (IMAT), CyberKnife (CK) or Helical Tomotherapy (HT) treatment methods. In this study, we performed a plan study to determine the plan parameter such as the M...
