Curative breast radiotherapy typically leaves patients with varying degrees of cosmetic damage. One problem interfering cosmetically acceptable is the external contour for large pendulous breasts which often results in high doses to skin folds. Thermoplastic casts are employed secure maintain setup reproducibility and limit presence This paper aims determine changes surface dose that can be attributed use thermoplastic immobilization casts. Skin a clinical hybrid conformal/IMRT plan was...
Inter-observer variability (IOV) in target volume delineation is a source of error head and neck radiotherapy. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been shown to be useful detecting recurrent cancer. This study aims determine whether DWI improves IOV.Four radiation oncologists delineated the gross tumour (GTV) for ten cancer patients. Delineation was performed on CT alone as well fused image sets which incorporated fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) magnetic...
Abstract Introduction To evaluate the feasibility of prostate intrafraction motion monitoring using SeedTracker real‐time image guidance system in order to improve targeting accuracy radiotherapy. Methods was used monitor gold fiducial seeds with kV x‐ray imaging during radiotherapy 30 patients. Feedback from radiation therapists collected via use a user evaluation form. The impact on treatment time established by record and verify system. effective dose risk exposure‐induced cancer death...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates superior soft tissue contrast and is increasingly being used in radiotherapy planning. This study evaluated the impact of an education workshop minimising inter-observer variation (IOV) for nasopharyngeal organs at risk (OAR) delineation on MRI.Ten observers delineated 14 OARs 4 retrospective MRI data sets. Standard contouring guidelines were provided pre-workshop. Following OAR delineation, blinded to their original contours repeated...
PurposeA subset of patients treated with postprostatectomy radiation therapy for biochemical recurrence after surgery fail to respond because microscopic disease beyond the irradiated prostate bed. This work aims determine whether a rising interim prostate-specific antigen (PSA) during can predict likelihood subsequent recurrence.Methods and MaterialsBetween 2010 2016, 185 had salvage dose 68 Gy without androgen deprivation PSA level radical prostatectomy. Patients their recorded on first...
