Dosimetry-based treatment for Graves' disease.
(2018-06)
Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the long-term outcome of a personalized dosimetry approach in Graves' disease aiming to render patients euthyroid from a planned thyroid absorbed dose of ...
Whole-remnant and maximum-voxel SPECT/CT dosimetry in <sup>131</sup>I-NaI treatments of differentiated thyroid cancer.
(2016-10)
Purpose To investigate the possible differences between SPECT/CT based whole-remnant and maximum-voxel dosimetry in patients receiving radio-iodine ablation treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).Methods Eighteen ...
A method to verify sections of arc during intrafraction portal dosimetry for prostate VMAT.
(2019-10-16)
This study investigates the use of a running sum of images during segment-resolved intrafraction portal dosimetry for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), so as to alert the operator to an error before it becomes ...
Worst case optimization for interfractional motion mitigation in carbon ion therapy of pancreatic cancer.
(2016-10-07)
Introduction The efficacy of radiation therapy treatments for pancreatic cancer is compromised by abdominal motion which limits the spatial accuracy for dose delivery - especially for particles. In this work we investigate ...
A preclinical microbeam facility with a conventional x-ray tube.
(2016-12)
Purpose Microbeam radiation therapy is an innovative treatment approach in radiation therapy that uses arrays of a few tens of micrometer wide and a few hundreds of micrometer spaced planar x-ray beams as treatment fields. ...
Individualized 131I-mIBG therapy in the management of refractory and relapsed neuroblastoma.
(SPRINGER, 2013-10-01)
OBJECTIVE: Iodine-131-labelled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (I-mIBG) therapy is an established treatment modality for relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, most frequently administered according to fixed or weight-based criteria. ...
Assessment of fully-automated atlas-based segmentation of novel oral mucosal surface organ-at-risk.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-04-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current oral mucositis normal tissue complication probability models, based on the dose distribution to the oral cavity volume, have suboptimal predictive power. Improving the delineation of the ...
Issues involved in the quantitative 3D imaging of proton doses using optical CT and chemical dosimeters.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2015-01-21)
Dosimetry of proton beams using 3D imaging of chemical dosimeters is complicated by a variation with proton linear energy transfer (LET) of the dose-response (the so-called 'quenching effect'). Simple theoretical arguments ...
Evaluation of radiotherapy techniques for radical treatment of lateralised oropharyngeal cancers : Dosimetry and NTCP.
(URBAN & VOGEL, 2016-08-01)
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate potential advantages and disadvantages of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), multiple fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated ...
