Retrospective Validation and Clinical Implementation of Automated Contouring of Organs at Risk in the Head and Neck: A Step Toward Automated Radiation Treatment Planning for Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Journal of Global Oncology, 2018
Purpose We assessed automated contouring of normal structures for patients with head-and-neck cancer (HNC) using a multiatlas deformable-image-registration algorithm to better provide a fully automated radiation treatment planning solution for low- and ...

Advances in targeted Alpha therapy for prostate cancer [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Amongst therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, targeted alpha therapy (TαT) can deliver potent and local radiation selectively to cancer cells as well as the tumor microenvironment and thereby control cancer while minimizing toxicity.

Adaptive replanning using cone beam CT for deformation of original CT simulation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2022
Background During a course of radiation therapy, anatomical changes such as a decrease in tumour size or weight loss can trigger the need for repeating a computed tomography (CT) simulation scan in order to generate a new treatment plan.

Noncoplanar Radiation using Tomotherapy: A Phantom Study

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2020
Background: There are very few studies on noncoplanar radiation in tomotherapy because deformable image registration is not implemented in the TomoTherapy Planning Station, a treatment planning device used in tomotherapy.
