Image-guided radiotherapy

Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2022
We present the updated recommendations of the French society for oncological radiotherapy on image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). The objective of the IGRT is to take into account the anatomical variations of the target volume occurring between or during the irradiation fractions, such as displacements and/or deformations, so that the delivered dose ...

Image-Guided Radiotherapy

2021
The role of radiation therapy (RT) in the treatment of liver malignancies has historically been low, in part due to challenges in delivering ablative doses of RT safely while respecting the radiation dose limits of numerous normal tissues in the upper abdomen, including the liver itself. Challenges to the routine use of RT to treat hepatic malignancies

Implementation of Image-guided Radiotherapy

Clinical Oncology, 2012
Imaged-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is not a new technique; rather, it has evolved over the past few decades. It has been defined in many ways, but for the purposes of this Editorial it can be thought of as any imaging at pretreatment and delivery, the result of which is acted upon, that improves or verifies the accuracy of radiotherapy. Although imaging

Dynamic targeting image-guided radiotherapy

Medical Dosimetry, 2006
Volumetric imaging and planning for 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) have highlighted the need to the oncology community to better understand the geometric uncertainties inherent in the radiotherapy delivery process, including setup error (interfraction) as well as organ motion during treatment ...

Innovations in image-guided radiotherapy

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2007
The limited ability to control for the location of a tumour compromises the accuracy with which radiation can be delivered to tumour-bearing tissue. The resultant requirement for larger treatment volumes to accommodate target uncertainty restricts the radiation dose because more surrounding normal tissue is exposed. With image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT)

Different Styles of Image-Guided Radiotherapy

Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2007
To account for geometric uncertainties during radiotherapy, safety margins are applied. In many cases, these margins overlap organs at risk, thereby limiting dose escalation. The aim of image-guided radiotherapy is to improve the accuracy by imaging tumors and critical structures on the machine just before irradiation.
