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 ...

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.

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.

PET for radiation treatment planning of brain tumours
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2010AA-PET (MET-PET and FET-PET) can be used for gross tumour volume (GTV) delineation in brain gliomas and for the differentiation between treatment-related changes (pseudo-progression, pseudo-regression) and residual/recurrent tumour. There are some data showing that MET-PET and (DOTATOC)-PET can be used for GTV delineation in meningiomas and glomus ...

The importance of optimal treatment planning in radiation therapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1991There are two classes of failure in radiation therapy: local control not achieved and radiation-induced morbidity. Technical developments which permit the employment of treatment volumes which achieve a closer approximation to the target volume can confidently be asserted to yield clinical gains in terms of higher tumor control rates and/or reduced ...

Hypoxia imaging-directed radiation treatment planning
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2006Increasing evidence supports the role of the tumor microenvironment in modulating cancer behavior. Tissue hypoxia, an important and common condition affecting the tumor microenvironment, is well established as a resistance factor in radiotherapy. Increasing evidence points to the ability of hypoxia to induce the expression of gene products, which ...

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 ...
