Volume rendering in radiation treatment planning [PDF]
[1990] Proceedings of the First Conference on Visualization in Biomedical Computing, 2002 Successful treatment planning in radiation therapy depends in part on understanding the spatial relationship between patient anatomy and the distribution of radiation dose. Several visualizations based on volume rendering that offer potential solutions to this problem are presented.

Treatment Planning for Particle Radiation Therapy
2015Fast neutrons beams from the new medically dedicated cyclotrons in the US have depth dose characteristics comparable to photon beams from a 6-MV linear accelerator, at best. Treatment planning will have specific difficulties related to the relatively increased radiosensitivities of the brain, spinal cord, lens of the eye, and salivary gland. Therefore,

Treatment planning for protocol-based radiation therapy
Medical Dosimetry, 1990Many protocol studies are conducted in which patients are assigned to alternative treatment regimens. Typically the dosimetric specifications will define the maximal and minimal target doses and maximal doses to specified critical normal structures, and the success of the study will depend upon the consistency and reliability with which these dose ...

Radiation Planning for Thermal Laser Treatment
Medical Laser Application, 2001Summary A dosimetry model was developed for the thermal laser treatment of biological tissue and applied to laser-induced thermotherapy of organ tumors. This model combines a Monte Carlo simulation for calculating photon distribution in the target volume, a finite difference method for computing heat dissipation and the Arrhenius formalism for ...

Radiation transport calculations in treatment planning
Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics, 1989This article reviews the role of radiation transport calculations in radiotherapy dose computation. The physical and mathematical principles underlying transport theory, as applied to electrons and photons, are discussed. Practical methods of solving the transport equation, with emphasis on Monte Carlo techniques, are reviewed.

Superficial Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
2013The main objective in radiation oncology for skin lesions is to eradicate the lesion while maintaining the patient’s present and future quality of life. Delivering precisely measured dose of radiation to a defined tumor volume with minimal damage to surrounding tissue is the main goal.

Computer graphics tools for radiation treatment planning
Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 1989The objective of radiation therapy treatment is to eradicate a cancerous tumor while keeping the damage to nearby healthy organs to a minimum. A variety of tools employing computer graphics exist to aid in the planning and verification of treatments.

Radiation Treatment Planning in Pediatric Oncology
2019Radiotherapy (RT) plays an important role in the multimodality treatment of a number of pediatric tumors, both in the curative and palliative settings. In general, treatment paradigms in pediatric oncology look to risk-stratify and response-adapt treatment for patients, with the overarching tenet of delivering the minimum treatment required for cure ...

Radiation treatment planning for malignant astrocytomas
Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 1991Treatment planning for malignant astrocytomas has been an area of controversy for the past 30 years. Several key studies have supported widely divergent treatment philosophies. Before the availability of computerized tomography (CT) scanning, whole brain irradiation (WBRT) was necessary to ensure adequate tumor coverage, due to limitations of less ...
