Automated Radiation Treatment Planning for Cervical Cancer [PDF]

Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2020
The radiation treatment-planning process includes contouring, planning, and reviewing the final plan, and each component requires substantial time and effort from multiple experts. Automation of treatment planning can save time and reduce the cost of radiation treatment, and potentially provides more consistent and better quality plans. With the recent

Radiation Treatment Planning After Minimum Metallic Instrumentation for Patients with Spinal Metastases: A Case Series [PDF]

Medicina
Background and Objectives: The utilization of non-metallic pedicle screws and rods has become a favored approach in the management of spinal tumors. An abundance of metal artifacts improves postoperative imaging and allows for precise radiation treatment

Accuracy of Computerized Radiation Treatment Planning [PDF]

Acta Radiologica: Oncology, Radiation, Physics, Biology, 1979
The accuracy of computerized dose planning depends essentially on the computer program. The quickest and simplest way to assess the accuracy of a commercial program is to compare the results of the computer calculations with measured values. The present report deals with the accuracy of the RADPLAN dose planning program in different situations easy to ...
