Acr Practice Guideline for Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy (imrt)

ثبت نشده
چکیده

These guidelines are an educational tool designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate radiologic care for patients. They are not inflexible rules or requirements of practice and are not intended, nor should they be used, to establish a legal standard of care. For these reasons and those set forth below, the American College of Radiology cautions against the use of these guidelines in litigation in which the clinical decisions of a practitioner are called into question.

Clustering of nasopharyngeal carcinoma intensity modulated radiation therapy plans based on k-means algorithm and geometrical features

Background: The design of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans is difficult and time-consuming. The retrieval of similar IMRT plans from the IMRT plan dataset can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of IMRT plans and automate the design of IMRT planning. However, the large IMRT plans datasets will bring inefficient retrieval result. Materials and Methods: An intensity-m...

The Quality Control of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for ONCOR Siemens Linear Accelerators Using Film Dosimetry

Introduction Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has made a significant progress in radiation therapy centers in recent years. In this method, each radiation beam is divided into many subfields that create a field with a modulated intensity. Considering the complexity of this method, the quality control for IMRT is a topic of interest for researchers. This article is about the various ...
