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.

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,

[Tridimensional radiation treatment planning].
Orvosi hetilap, 1994The effectiveness of radiotherapy and the possibility that the patient will be cured are basically determined by the accuracy of the therapy planning and the treatment. The tumour with its environment is a three-dimensional (3D) phenomenon, and therefore 3D radiation treatment planning and performance are needed for adequate coverage of the target ...

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.

Planning of Radiation Treatment
1977The 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.
