Abstract Purpose The aim of this study is to quantify the potential benefits a flattening filter‐free (FFF) beam and implement dose‐computation algorithm for cervical radiotherapy through dosimetric radiobiological analyses using RapidArc. Methods Thirty‐three patients were enrolled, four RapidArc plans created each patient dual‐arc filter 6‐MV FFF photon beams two calculation algorithms. Homog...
Treatment planning is a trial and error process that determines optimal dwell times, dose distribution, and loading pattern for high dose rate brachytherapy. Planning systems offer a number of dose calculation methods to either normalize or optimize the radiation dose. Each method has its own characteristics for achieving therapeutic dose to mitigate cancer growth without harming contiguous nor...
BACKGROUND Modern radiotherapy offers various possibilities for image guided verification of patient positioning. Different clinically relevant IGRT (image guided radiotherapy) scenarios were considered with regard to their influence on dosimetric plan quality and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). METHODS This study is based on treatment plans of 50 prostate patients. We evaluate...
PURPOSE We examined clinical and dosimetric factors as predictors of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) in lung cancer patients and evaluated the relationship between interstitial lung changes in the pre-radiotherapy (RT) computed tomography (CT) and symptomatic RP. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records and dose volume histogram data of 60 lung cancer patients from August 2005 to July 200...
INTRODUCTION The gamma analysis used for quality assurance of a complex radiotherapy plan examines the dosimetric equivalence between planned and measured dose distributions within some tolerance. This study explores whether the dosimetric difference is correlated with any radiobiological difference between delivered and planned dose. METHODS VMAT or IMRT plans optimized for 14 cancer patient...
BACKGROUND The standard diagnostic approach in patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis is to repeat the compression ultrasonography after 1 week in all patients with an initial normal result. We hypothesized that a normal finding of a D-dimer assay safely obviates the need for repeated ultrasonography. In addition, we evaluated the potential value of a pretest probability assessment for th...
