Quantification of geometric uncertainties in image guided radiotherapy [PDF]
The aim of this thesis is to determine if the geometric uncertainties that are introduced into the image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) process by Cone Beam CT (CBCT) based IGRT equipment are sufficiently small that they do not pose a significant risk of ...

Adaptive Radiotherapy for Anatomical Changes [PDF]
The anatomy of cancer patients changes between radiation treatment planning and delivery as well as over the course of radiotherapy. Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) aims to deliver radiation accurately and precisely in the presence of such changes.

External radiotherapy of thyroid cancer [PDF]
Differentiated thyroid cancer comprises papillary, mixed papillary-follicular and follicular adenocarcinomas. They are mostly hormone-sensitive and respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. The standard treatment is total thyroidectomy. I-

Potential benefit and clinical implementation of adaptive radiotherapy [PDF]
The success of radiotherapy is defined by how well we are able to treat the tumor, without overly damaging the healthy tissue. Over the entire treatment period, day-to-day anatomical variations will occur, which can be compensated for by using a ...
