Major weight loss is common in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who undergo radiotherapy (RT). How baseline posttreatment body composition affects outcome unknown.
Abstract Cross sectional imaging is essential for the patient-specific planning and delivery of radiotherapy, a primary determinant head neck cancer outcomes. Due to challenges ensuring data quality patient de-identification, publicly available datasets including diagnostic radiation treatment are scarce. In this descriptor, we detail collection processing computed tomography based in 215 patients with squamous cell carcinoma that were treated radiotherapy. Using cross imaging, calculated...
In this investigation periodontal destruction was produced by a combination of inflammatory and traumatic factors. After the inflammation resolved trama stopped, significant amount alveolar bone regeneration took place. The implications these findings for management advanced disease are discussed.
Purpose To develop a quality assurance (QA) workflow by using robust, curated, manually segmented anatomic region-of-interest (ROI) library as benchmark for quantitative assessment of different image registration techniques used head and neck radiation therapy–simulation computed tomography (CT) with diagnostic CT coregistration. Materials Methods Radiation images in 20 patients squamous cell carcinoma treated curative-intent intensity-modulated therapy between August 2011 May 2012 were...
The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between alveolar bone repair and level connective tissue attachment after reduction inflammation in an experimental marginal periodontitis. Perodontitis induced by tying plaque retentive silk ligatures around mandibular second third bicuspids four squirrel monkeys. Ten weeks later were removed. An oral hygiene regime mechanical claning started continued three times a week for ten weeks. Induction perodontitis same teeth contralateral...
The term Big Data has come to encompass a number of concepts and uses within medicine. This paper lays out the relevance application large collections data in radiation oncology community. We describe potential importance clinical practice. important are then described how they have been or could be implemented discussed. Impediments progress collection use sufficient quantities also described. Finally, recommendations for community can move forward achieve big provided.
T his study was designed to quantitate the changes in experimental angular bony defects and surrounding tissues following removal of irritants associated with marginal periodontitis. Plaque retentive ligatures were placed around mandibular second bicuspids each four squirrel monkeys. Ten weeks later removed mechanical cleaning implemented. At same time, on contralateral (control) bicuspids. After 10 monkeys sacrificed prepared for analysis. The control represented state periodontium...
Purpose: To evaluate the dosimetric accuracy for proton therapy patients with metal implants in CT using deletion technique (MDT) artifacts reduction. Methods: Proton dose accuracies under were first evaluated a water phantom cylindrical inserts of different materials (titanium and steel). Ranges profiles along beam angles calculated treatment planning system (Eclipse version 8.9) on uncorrected CT, MDT manually-corrected where true Hounsfield units (water) assigned to streak artifacts. In...
Recent research indicates that over one third of U.S. adults are obese and 51.6% meet the recommended 2008 physical activity (PA) guidelines. In this context, understanding what makes people engage or not in PA becomes key importance when attempting to prevent obesity its related comorbidities. The objective is assess motivation levels students, faculty, staff an urban Midwest Private College. Participants completed anonymous online survey (n=119) on Exercise Motivation. Fitness were tested...
Recent research indicates that over one third of American adults are obese (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, and Flegal, 2014) only 48% meet the 2008 Physical Activity (PA) Guidelines. In this context, understanding what makes people engage or not in PA becomes key importance when attempting to prevent obesity its related comorbidities. PURPOSE:To assess PA, motivation fitness levels students, faculty, staff an urban Midwest Private College. METHODS: A total 193 subjects, ages 19-72 years old, were...
The purpose of the present work was to develop a relational database and associated applications facilitate retrospective review data in radiation treatment plans. source commercial planning system (Pinnacle3, Philips Medical Systems, Milpitas CA), which is specifically characterized by an open storage format internal scripting capability. open-source, (PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL Global Development Group, http://www.postgresql.org). presented through web interface addition being fully...
Purpose: To investigate the impact of anatomical changes on target coverage and dose to normal tissues during radiotherapy for lung cancer using repeat four-dimensional computed tomography (4-DCT) imaging. Methods Materials: Four patients with approximately 5–10 (average: 8) 4-DCT image data sets acquired weekly treatment were used this study. Treatment portals based planning tumor volumes (PTV) from initial set. The beam arrangements transferred onto subsequent weeks distributions...
Purpose: The development and testing of a tool for the inclusion delivery time as parameter in plan optimization. Methods: We developed an algorithm that estimates required machine personnel movements to deliver treatment on linear accelerator. included dose rate, leaf motion, collimator gantry couch motions (including enter room rotate safely). Vault-specific parameters account perform angle adjustments were also included. This works static, step shoot IMRT, VMAT beams photon fixed electron...
Conclusion:We found considerable variation in bladder dose and volumes throughout the treatment course.Inclusion of inter-fractional deformations should, therefore, likely be considered future dose-response modeling GU toxicity.
