Energy- and intensity-modulated electron beams for radiotherapy

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2000
This work investigates the feasibility of optimizing energy- and intensity-modulated electron beams for radiation therapy. A multileaf collimator (MLC) specially designed for modulated electron radiotherapy (MERT) was investigated both experimentally and by Monte Carlo simulations.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head-and-neck rhabdomyosarcoma

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2005
To determine the preliminary results of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head-and-neck rhabdomyosarcoma.Twenty-eight patients underwent IMRT as a part of multimodality therapy. Twenty-one tumors were parameningeal, three were orbital, and four were in other sites. The median age was 8 years (range, 1-29 years).

[Saliva and intensity modulated radiotherapy].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2008
A dry mouth (xerostomia) is a serious side effect for head and neck cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. The degree of xerostomia is dependent on the dosage in the parotid glands. New, advanced radiation techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, can reduce the dosage in the parotid glands, resulting in a significant improvement in the

Conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy and image-guided radiotherapy

2008
The aim of radiotherapy is to deliver the desired tumoricidal dose to the intended target as accurately and reliably as possible and avoid unnecessary dose to surrounding normal tissues. This principle was recognized when irradiation was utilized therapeutically over 100 years ago and has been the guiding force for development and refinement of modern ...
