متن کاملCervix Cancer Spatial Modelling for Brachytherapy Applicator Analysis
Standard applicators for cervix cancer brachytherapy (BT) do not always enable a sufficient radiation dose coverage of the target structure (HR-CTV). The aim of this study was to develop methodology for building models of the BT target from a cohort of cervix cancer patients, which would enable BT applicator testing. In this paper we propose two model types, a spatial distribution model and a p...
متن کاملOptimization of clinical target volume delineation using magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) in 3D conformal radiotherapy of prostate cancer
Background: For the purpose of individual clinical target volume assessment in radiotherapy of prostate cancer, MRSI was used as a molecular imaging modality with MRI and CT images. Materials and Methods: The images of 20 prostate cancer patients were used in this study. The MR and MRSI images were registered with CT ones using non-rigid registration technique. The CT based planning (BP), CT/MR...
متن کاملOff-line magnetic resonance imaging navigation of cervix cancer brachytherapy in patients with risk factors for uterine perforation
Purpose There are no reports on pre-insertion identification of cervix cancer patients at risk for uterine perforation during brachytherapy (BT). Our aim was to assess the incidence of risk factors in our patient cohort, and assess feasibility of a novel technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided navigation for applicator insertion (NAI) in high-risk cases. Material and methods All ...
