CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma is a devastating cancer with a poor prognosis. Patients are often diagnosed at the advanced stage, and curative surgery is impossible. Radiation therapy is used for cases of advanced cancer. A 50-year-old woman with stage IVb intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed with unresectable cancer, and had chemotherapy; however, the ...

Feasibility Study of Dual Energy Radiographic Imaging for Target Localization in Radiotherapy for Lung Tumors [PDF]
Purpose Dual-energy (DE) radiographic imaging improves tissue discrimination by separating soft from hard tissues in the acquired images. This study was to establish a mathematic model of DE imaging based on intrinsic properties of tissues and ...

Abstract Background Real‐time tumor tracking (RTTT) is an effective strategy for managing respiratory motion during radiation therapy; however, it typically requires invasive fiducial markers. As a non‐invasive alternative, markerless RTTT (ML‐RTTT) has gained increasing interest, especially with the growing use of volumetric modulated arc therapy ...
