چکیده
Figure 1. A. Basic signal-to-time patterns determined within the prostate in DCE-MRI studies of a patient with prostate cancer and their corresponding weights displayed as heat maps in one slice of the prostate. B. Corresponding T2-w, showing areas of hypointensity, suspicious for cancer. The same image is overlaid with the map of the tumor pattern. Figure 2. A. Two T2-w axial views from patient after prostatectomy. B. T2-w, overlaid with the map of the tumor pattern. DELINEATION AND VISUALIZATION OF PROSTATE CANCER FOR TARGETED RADIATION THERAPY (RT)

Systemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
متن کاملContribution of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT to targeting volume delineation of prostate cancer treated with conformal radiation therapy: Which SUV threshold is appropriate?
Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been demonstrated as a promising tool for specific imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) via positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning. Radiation treatment planning (RTP) based on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scanning can also lead to some decision modifications. The specific goal o...
متن کاملAS1411 Aptamer Conjugated Gold Nanoclusters as a Targeted Radiosensitizer for Megavoltage Radiation Therapy of 4T1 Breast Cancer Cells
Introduction: In the present study, AS1411 aptamer conjugated gold nanoclusters (GNCs) have been introduced as a targeted radiosensitizer for enhancing megavoltage radiation therapy efficacy. RT has identified as an effective therapeutic modality for many different types of solid tumors. However, equal radiation beams absorption by tumor and surrounding healthy tissues is still...
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 کاملComparison of Radiobiological Models for Radiation Therapy Plans of Prostate Cancer: Three-dimensional Conformal versus Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Purpose: In the current study, using different radiobiological models, tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of radiotherapy plans were calculated for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.Methods and Materials: 10 prostate plans were randomly selected among patients ...
