The new generation of synthetic diamonds grown as a CVD single crystal on high pressure temperature substrate offers wide range applications. In particular, because the near tissue equivalence and its small size (good spatial resolution), diamond finds applicability in radiotherapy dosemeter ionizing radiation. this paper we report electrical dosimetric properties detector which was fabricated at IFJ based detector-grade provided with novel contact metallization. Diamond were assessed using...
We investigated the relationship between RBE-weighted dose (DRBE) calculated with constant (cRBE) and variable RBE (vRBE), dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LETd) risk of radiographic changes in skull base patients treated protons.Clinical treatment plans 45 were recalculated Monte Carlo tool FRED. Radiographic (i.e. edema and/or necrosis) identified by MRI. Dosimetric parameters for cRBE vRBE computed. Biological margin extension voxel-based analysis employed looking association...
Variable relative biological effectiveness (vRBE) in proton therapy might significantly modify the prediction of RBE-weighted dose delivered to a patient during therapy. In this study we will present method quantify range extension beam, which results from application vRBE approach calculation.
Background and purpose: A collaborative network between proton therapy (PT) centres in Trento Italy, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic Sweden (IPACS) was founded to implement trials harmonize PT. This is the first report of IPACS with aim show level harmonization that can be achieved for planning head neck (sino-nasal) cancer.Methods: CT-data sets five patients were included. During several face-to-face online meetings, a common treatment protocol developed. Each centre used its own system...
Physical and biological range uncertainties limit the clinical potential of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT). In this proceedings, we report on two research projects, which are conducting in parallel both tackle problem uncertainties. One aims at developing software tools other detector instrumentation. Regarding first, our development pre-clinical application a GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo (MC) simulation toolkit Fred. Concerning letter, investigations plastic scintillator based PET detectors for...
Applying a proton beam in radiotherapy enables precise irradiation of the tumor volume, but only for continuous assessment changes patient anatomy. Proton range uncertainties treatment process may originate not from physical properties also patient-specific factors such as shrinkage, edema formation and sinus filling, which are incorporated volume safety margins. In this paper, we evaluated variations dose distribution therapy resulting differences observed control tomographic images...

accuracy derived from the experiment was: DD (5%) -83.4% and 68% pixels passing, DTA (3mm) -99.0% 96,7%, gamma parameter (for (3%), (3mm)) -90% 75,5% respectively for AAA PBC algorithms.The comparison between studied parameters DD, γ both algorithms implicated as an appropriate approach in radiotherapy treatment planning.
Purpose or Objective: Assessment of tolerance combined modality therapy patients with malignant gliomas irradiated using IMRT technique.We compared dose distribution in and conformal 3D treatment plans. Material Methods: Between 2009 2013 theOncology Center Krakow 60 received treatment.Mean age was 53 years (range 24-72 years).All were good performance status (WHO 0-1).There 48 glioblastoma multiforme 12 anaplastic astrycytoma.48 underwent complete resection partial resection.Patient...
One of the main goals radiotherapy is to achieve tumor control and minimize probability normal-tissue complications.For this reason radiation oncology requires high accuracy, which implies no more than 2-3% uncertainty levels in treatment planning calculations.That challenging, when heterogeneous tissues such as lungs bones are involved.To verify accuracy dose calculation algorithms numerous approaches might be performed.The most common point dose, one-dimensional profile two-dimensional...
Abstract Mammography provides early micro-calcification recognition, that is important for further breast cancer (BC) diagnosis. Imaging choice BC detection X-ray mammography (MG) with the use of high-resolution digital modality combined iodinated contrast agents. However, a conventional MG has some sensitivity limitations, especially in patients densely treated breasts. Moreover, contributes radiation risk correlated an exposure to ionizing radiation. Patients, whom study does not give...
Introduction. Because the specific proton beam dose distribution (i.e. so-called ’Bragg curve’), radiotherapy ensures that high-dose region is precisely confined to target volume while minimizing delivered healthy tissues/critical organs surrounding tumour or those lying in path of beam. This method has been used for patients Kraków since November 2016. Aim. To report early tolerance outcomes completing their treatment just before end August 2017. Materials and methods. Study subjects were...
