Abstract Purpose To study the performance of MapCHECK 3 (MC3) in measuring universal wedge fields and propose a dose rate correction strategy to improve MC3 measurement accuracy. Materials methods Universal with different angles field sizes were measured at depths using MC3. Considering more prominent dependence type 4 diodes equipped by MC3, program was developed automatically correct measurements based on instantaneous (IDR) curve. Central axis (CAX) doses off‐axis along direction, without...
This study focused on predicting 3D dose distribution at high precision and generated the prediction methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (NPC) treated with Tomotherapy based patient-specific gap between organs risk (OARs) planning target volumes (PTVs).A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using CT contour masks as input distributions output. The CNN "3D Dense-U-Net", which combines U-Net Dense-Net. To evaluate model, we retrospectively used 124 NPC Tomotherapy, in 96 28...
The use of Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and Helical tomotherapy (HT) is increasing in gynecological cancer patients. No published studies have performed a dosimetric evaluation whole pelvic (WPRT) using HT for postoperative endometrial cancer. purpose this study was to perform direct comparison three-dimensional conformal (3D-CRT), IMRT plans WPRT patients, evaluate the integral dose organs at risk (OARs) normal tissue.We selected ten patients with undergoing WPRT. Plans 3D-CRT,...
The goal of this study was to evaluate real-time volumetric and dosimetric changes the parotid gland so as determine replanning criteria timing for protection-based adaptive radiation therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Fifty NPC patients were treated with helical tomotherapy; (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>D</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">m</mml:mi><mml:mi...
Abstract Purpose To investigate the dose rate dependence of MapCHECK3 and its influence on measurement accuracy, as well effect correction. Materials methods The average instantaneous MapCHECK2 were studied. accuracy measurements was investigated where differed significantly between calibration MapCHECK measurement. Measurements include: central axis for different fields at depths, off‐axis doses outside field, along wedge direction. using an ion chamber taken reference. Exponential...
During the radiation treatment planning process, one of time-consuming procedures is final high-resolution dose calculation, which obstacles wide application emerging online adaptive radiotherapy techniques (OLART). There an urgent desire for highly accurate and efficient calculation methods. This study aims to develop a super resolution-based deep learning model fast prediction in clinical practice. A Multi-stage Dose Super-Resolution Network (MDSR Net) architecture with sparse masks module...
To evaluate the outcomes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with helical tomotherapy (HT).Between September 2007 and August 2012, 190 newly diagnosed NPC were HT. Thirty-one radiation therapy as single modality, 129 additional cisplatin-based chemotherapy or without anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy, 30 concurrent therapy.Acute related side effects mainly grade 1 2. Grade 3 greater toxicities rarely noted. The median followup was 32 (3-38) months. local relapse-free...
The goal of this study was to evaluate the actual anatomical and dosimetric changes parotid glands in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients during intensity modulated radiation therapy. With helical tomotherapy, its planning system, adaptive software, weekly 35 NPC were evaluated. Interweekly volume varied significantly (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>P</mml:mi><mml:mo><</mml:mo><mml:mn>0.03</mml:mn></mml:math>). rate change reached highest level at...
Background: Growing data suggest that DNA damage repair and detoxification pathways play crucial roles in radiation-induced toxicities. To determine whether common functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) candidate genes from these can be used as predictors of radiation pneumonitis (RP), we conducted a prospective study to evaluate the associations between SNPs risk RP. Methods: We recruited total 149 lung cancer patients who had received intensity modulated therapy (IMRT). GSTP1...

Abstract Background Due to inconsistent positioning, tumor shrinking, and weight loss during fractionated treatment, the initial plan was no longer appropriate after a few fractional treatments, patient will require adaptive helical tomotherapy (HT) overcome issue. Patients are scanned with megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) before each which is utilized for setup provides information dose reconstruction. However, low contrast high noise of MVCT make it challenging delineate treatment...
