This document is the report of a task group AAPM and has been prepared primarily to advise medical physicists involved in external-beam radiation therapy patients with thoracic, abdominal, pelvic tumors affected by respiratory motion. describes magnitude motion, discusses radiotherapy specific problems caused explains techniques that explicitly manage motion during gives recommendations application these for patient care, including quality assurance (QA) guidelines devices their use...
A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner integrated with a linear accelerator is powerful tool for image guided radiotherapy. Respiratory motion, however, induces artifacts in CBCT, while the respiratory correlated procedures, developed to reduce motion axial and helical CT are not suitable such CBCT scanners. We have an alternative procedure evaluated its performance. This consists of retrospective sorting projection space, yielding subsets projections that each corresponds certain...
PurposeThe objective of this project was to define consensus guidelines for delineating organs at risk (OARs) head and neck radiotherapy routine daily practice research purposes.MethodsConsensus were formulated based on in-depth discussions a panel European, North American, Asian Australian radiation oncologists.ResultsTwenty-five OARs in the region defined with concise description their main anatomic boundaries. The Supplemental material provides an atlas guidelines, projected 1 mm axial...
The RTOG 0617 trial presented a worse survival for patients with lung cancer treated in the high-dose (74 Gy) arm. In multivariable models, radiation level and whole-heart volumetric dose parameters were associated survival. this work, we consider heart subregions to explain observed difference between levels.
AAPM Task Group 58 was created to provide materials help the medical physicist and colleagues succeed in clinical implementation of electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) radiation oncology. This complex technology has matured over past decade is capable being integrated into routine practice. However, difficulties encountered during specification, installation, process can be overwhelming. TG58 charged with providing sufficient information allow users overcome these put EPIDs In...
Image correlation is often required to utilize the complementary information in CT, MRI, and SPECT. A practical method for automatic image three‐dimensions (3D) based on chamfer matching described. The starts with extraction of contour points one modality segmentation corresponding feature other modality. distance transform applied segmented volume a cost function defined that operates between transform. Matching performed by iteratively optimizing 3D translation, rotation, scaling points....
