Volume Visualization in Radiation Treatment Planning
Critical Reviews in Diagnostic Imaging, 2000Radiation treatment planning (RTP), historically an image-intensive discipline and one of the first areas in which 3D information from imaging was clinically applied, has become even more critically dependent on accurate 3D definition of target and non-target structures in recent years with the advent of conformal radiation therapy.

Fractionation in radiation treatment planning
Mathematical Programming, 2004Radiotherapy treatment is often delivered in a fractionated manner over a period of time. Emerging delivery devices are able to determine the actual dose that has been delivered at each stage facilitating the use of adaptive treatment plans that compensate for errors in delivery.

Planning of Radiation Treatment [PDF]
, 1977 The aim of radiotherapy is to destroy a malignant tumour. In accomplishing this goal one has to spare the healthy tissue and organs as much as possible since otherwise they could perish. Thus, the total irradiation time should be short.

Conformal Radiation Therapy, Treatment Planning
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2002The methods, devices and techniques used for treatment planning with radiation therapy has changed since the two‐dimensional traditional planning systems to date with the visual advantage of the three‐dimensional capabilities and the more sophisticated Linear Accelerators.

Treatment planning for neutron radiation therapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1977Abstract Treatment-planning techniques developed for photon therapy have been freely borrowed for fast-neutron beam therapy, including methods of storing the measured data and subsequent manipulation to correct for patient contour, inhomogeneities, oblique incidence of the beam, and the presence of beam-modifying devices.

Treatment Planning in Radiation Therapy
2017Radiation therapy is the clinical use of ionizing radiation as part of a comprehensive cancer treatment to eradicate malignant/cancerous cells. It works by damaging the DNA of cancerous cells, which is the primary cause of cell death. Normal cells are also damaged by ionizing radiation; however, they generally have a better recovery mechanism than the ...

Objective Evaluation of Radiation Treatment Plans
Proceedings. Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care, 1993The evaluation of radiation treatment plans involves making trade-offs among doses delivered to the tumor volumes and nearby normal tissues. Evaluating state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) plans is a difficult task because of the huge amount of planning data that needs to be deciphered.

Diagnostic ultrasound in radiation treatment planning
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1973AbstractDiagnostic ultrasound provides the radiation therapist a very practical method of acquiring anatomical information for developing optimized radiation therapy plans. With ultrasound it is possible to record simultaneously the contour of the patient and the location and depth of tumors and normal structures.

Positron Emission Tomography for Radiation Treatment Planning
Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, 2005To evaluate the impact of positron emission tomography (PET) on target volume delineation for radiation treatment planning.The data of the literature concerning the use of PET in target volume delineation are summarized. The following points are discussed for each tumor entity: biological background for the PET investigation, sensitivity and ...
