IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY AND -BRACHYTHERAPY FOR CERVICAL CANCER [PDF]
Conventional radiotherapy for cervical cancer relies on clinical examination, 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), and 2-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy.Excellent local control and survival have been obtained for

Editorial: Image-guided radiotherapy for effective radiotherapy delivery [PDF]
During most of the last century, verification of patient position on the radiotherapy treatment table was considered adequate if exposed on a photographic film by a megavoltage beam. It was a general standard to expose such a film once a week, to be approved by a radiation oncologist.

The Future of Image-guided Radiotherapy [PDF]
Dose-escalated radiotherapy using increasingly con-formal techniques from three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy to step-and-shoot intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) through to volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has been shown to improve outcomes in a number of different solid tumours [1e5].

Iodixanol as a New Contrast Agent for Cyanoacrylate Embolization: A Preliminary In Vivo Swine Study
N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) is a lipophilic, permanent embolic glue that must be opacified for fluoroscopic guidance. Empirically, lipophilic Lipiodol Ultra Fluid® (LUF) has been added to produce a single-phase physically stable mixture.

Initial clinical experience building a dual CT- and MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy program
Introduction: Our institution was the first in the world to clinically implement MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) in 2014. In 2021, we installed a CT-guided adaptive radiotherapy (CTgART) unit, becoming one of the first clinics in the world to ...

Recent Advances and Adaptive Strategies in Image Guidance for Cervical Cancer Radiotherapy
The standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer is external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with simultaneous chemotherapy followed by an internal radiation boost. New imaging methods such as positron-emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

Image Guided Radiotherapy of the Prostate [PDF]
This paper describes the prototype of an integrated system for cone-beam CT guided radiotherapy of prostate cancer. The system works by acquiring a 3D image set just prior to treatment delivery. This image set is matched automatically with bones and prostate defined in the planning CT to determine the required couch translation and to determine a best ...

Image-Guided Radiotherapy [PDF]
The vital importance of imaging techniques in radiation oncology now extends beyond diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning. Recent technical advances have enabled the integration of various imaging modalities into the everyday practice of radiotherapy directly at the linear accelerator, improving the management of inter- and intrafractional ...

MR-Guided Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
External beam radiotherapy remains the primary treatment modality for localized prostate cancer. The radiobiology of prostate carcinoma lends itself to hypofractionation, with recent studies showing good outcomes with shorter treatment schedules. However,
