PURPOSE The present project studied the implications of using the irregular surface compensator (ISC) technique in comparison to three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) for breast cancer treatment. ISC is an electronic compensation algorithm that modulates the fluence across the radiation fields to compensate for irregularly-shaped surfaces and deliver a homogeneous dose to a com...
We have proposed four dimensional (4D) digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) for verifying a lung tumor position during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). An internal target volume (ITV) was defined based on two clinical target volumes (CTVs) delineated on maximum exhalation and maximum inhalation images acquired by 4D planning computed tomography (CT). A planning target volume (PTV) ...
BACKGROUND FLAIR and T2 weighted MRIs are used based on institutional preference to delineate high grade gliomas and surrounding edema for radiation treatment planning. Although these sequences have inherent physical differences there is limited data on the clinical and dosimetric impact of using either or both sequences. METHODS 40 patients with high grade gliomas consecutively treated betwe...
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to quantify the variability in spinal radiosurgery (SRS) planning practices between five international institutions, all member of the Elekta Spine Radiosurgery Research Consortium. METHODS Four institutions provided one representative patient case each consisting of the medical history, CT and MR imaging. A step-wise planning approach was used where, afte...
Received July 19, 2002; revision received September 16, 2002; accepted September 24, 2002. BACKGROUND. Randomized trials have shown improved local control with the use of a breast boost for patients given breast-conserving treatment for breast carcinoma. Although the use of a breast boost is routine practice, no standard technique has been established. The authors compared the commonly used cli...
BACKGROUND To assess inter-observer variability in delineating target volume and organs at risk in benign tumor adjacent to optic tract as a quality assurance exercise. METHODS We quantitatively analyzed 21 plans made by 11 clinicians in seven CyberKnife centers. The clinicians were provided with a raw data set (pituitary adenoma and meningioma) including clinical information, and were asked ...
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to ascertain the subsequent radiobiological impact of using a consensus guideline target volume delineation atlas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a representative case and target volume delineation instructions derived from a proposed IMRT rectal cancer clinical trial, gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical/planning target volumes (CTV/PTV) were contoured by 13 ph...
PURPOSE To investigate the treatment results for focal partial salvage re-implantation against local recurrence after permanent prostate brachytherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2010 and September 2015, 12 patients were treated with focal partial salvage re-implantation for local recurrence after low-dose-rate brachytherapy using (125)I seeds. The focal clinical target volume (F-CT...
