The grid-dose-spreading algorithm for dose distribution calculation in heavy charged particle radiotherapy [PDF]

, 2007
A new variant of the pencil-beam (PB) algorithm for dose distribution calculation for radiotherapy with protons and heavier ions, the grid-dose spreading (GDS) algorithm, is proposed.

Monitor units are not predictive of neutron dose for high-energy IMRT

Radiation Oncology, 2012
Background Due to the substantial increase in beam-on time of high energy intensity-modulated radiotherapy (>10 MV) techniques to deliver the same target dose compared to conventional treatment techniques, an increased dose of scatter radiation ...

Development and operation of a pixel segmented liquid-filled linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance

, 2004
A liquid isooctane (C$_{8}$H$_{18}$) filled ionization linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance has been designed, built and tested. The detector consists of 128 pixels, each of them with an area of 1.7 mm $\times$ 1.7 mm and a gap of 0.5 mm.

A systematic review of methods to immobilise breast tissue during adjuvant breast irradiation [PDF]

, 2013
Greater use of 3D conformal, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and external beam partial breast irradiation following local excision (LE) for breast cancer has necessitated a review of the effectiveness of immobilisation methods to stabilise breast

Whole breast and regional nodal irradiation in prone versus supine position in left sided breast cancer [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) leads to reduced heart and lung doses in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. In this feasibility trial, we investigated the prone position for whole breast + lymph node irradiation (WB +

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in bilateral retinoblastoma

Radiology and Oncology, 2010
External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for retinoblastoma has traditionally been done with conventional radiotherapy techniques which resulted high doses to the surrounding normal tissues.A 20 month-old girl with group D bilateral retinoblastoma underwent intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to both eyes after failing chemoreduction and focal therapies ...

Current advances in radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas

Nowotwory, 2020
Radiotherapy (RT) is a part of the routine treatment of locally advanced or high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). However, RT has changed significantly over the last 20 years. Modern RT techniques have extended its potential application in STS treatment.
