Image guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Bulletin du cancer, 2008The purpose of external beam radiotherapy is to sterilize malignant tumours and at the same time to avoid complications by radiation injury to the surrounding healthy tissues. Modern radiation techniques in recent years have allowed to safely escalate the dose by approximately 10% for the treatment of prostate cancer, resulting in a disease control ...

Helical Tomotherapy: Image-Guided and Adaptive Radiotherapy
2011Helical tomotherapy is a treatment device that is designed to deliver intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatments. Helical tomotherapy systems have been used to treat a wide spectrum of anatomical sites. In addition to its unique delivery technique, the capability to obtain megavoltage-based CT (MVCT) images is highly integrated into the system's ...

Conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy and image-guided radiotherapy
2008The aim of radiotherapy is to deliver the desired tumoricidal dose to the intended target as accurately and reliably as possible and avoid unnecessary dose to surrounding normal tissues. This principle was recognized when irradiation was utilized therapeutically over 100 years ago and has been the guiding force for development and refinement of modern ...
