Hounsfield-based Automatic Evaluation of Volumetric Breast Density on Radiotherapy CT-Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Radiotherapy is an integral part of treatment for many patients with breast cancer. However, side effects can occur, Example fibrosis or erythema. If patients at higher risks of radiation induced side effects could be identified before treatment, they could be given more individual information about the risks and benefits of radiotherapy.

Advances in Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy Delivery
, 2008 Fixed-field intensity-modulated treatments, delivered by conventional linac-plus-multileaf systems, have rapidly become the most common form of IMRT. Several innovative alternative IMRT options are also now available, including tomotherapy, CyberKnife and jaws-only linacs. These innovative approaches have divergent rationales.
