Deep learning method for prediction of patient-specific dose distribution in breast cancer
Radiation Oncology, 2021 Background Patient-specific dose prediction improves the efficiency and quality of radiation treatment planning and reduces the time required to find the optimal plan. In this study, a patient-specific dose prediction model was developed for a left-sided

Adaptive radiation therapy [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1997 Adaptive radiation therapy is a closed-loop radiation treatment process where the treatment plan can be modified using a systematic feedback of measurements. Adaptive radiation therapy intends to improve radiation treatment by systematically monitoring treatment variations and incorporating them to re-optimize the treatment plan early on during the ...

Intracoronary radiation therapy [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2001 Over the past 15 years, despite a great deal of effort in assessing a variety of approaches, restenosis reduction has remained the most problematic complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Initial attempts focused on assessing systemic drugs including anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents, calcium antagonists and lipid ...

Effect of variations in atelectasis on tumor displacement during radiation therapy for locally advanced lung cancer [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose Atelectasis (AT), or collapsed lung, is frequently associated with central lung tumors. We investigated the variation of atelectasis volumes during radiation therapy and analyzed the effect of AT volume changes on the reproducibility of the ...
