Comparison of patient specific quality assurance tests done with using different dosimetric systems for intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment plans

Medicine Science, 2019
Intensity modulated radiotherapy is the developed technique of 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy. In this method, irradiated fields can be seperated into many subfields that are called segments.

Dosimetric comparison of coplanar intensity-modulated radiotherapy, noncoplanar intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and volumetric arc therapy planning technique in hippocampal-sparing whole-brain radiotherapy

Radiation Protection and Environment, 2021
The aim of this study was to compare the dosimetric parameters of Co-planar Intensity modulated radiotherapy (C-IMRT), non-coplanar (NC-IMRT), and volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) planning technique in hippocampal sparing (HS) whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT)

The role of radiotherapy in localised and locally advanced prostate cancer

Asian Journal of Urology, 2019
For a patient suffering from non-metastatic prostate cancer, the individualized recommendation of radiotherapy has to be the fruit of a multidisciplinary approach in the context of a Tumor Board, to be explained carefully to the patient to obtain his ...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PACE-B): 2-year toxicity results from an open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.

The Lancet Oncology, 2022
BACKGROUND Localised prostate cancer is commonly treated with external beam radiotherapy and moderate hypofractionation is non-inferior to longer schedules.

A dosimetric comparison of volumetric-modulated arc therapy and IMRT for cochlea-sparing radiation therapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer

Journal of Medical Physics, 2023
Background: Head-and-neck cancer treatment includes radiotherapy as a crucial component. However, radiotherapy, like other treatment modalities, has its own side effects, some of which can be avoided using the latest medical technology and understanding ...

Optically guided intensity modulated radiotherapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2001
Previously, we reported on development of an optically guided system for 3D conformal intracranial radiotherapy using multiple noncoplanar fixed fields. In this paper we report on the extension of our system for stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy to include intensity modulated static ports.A 3D treatment plan with maximum beam separation is ...

Norwegian Oncologists' Expectations of Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy [PDF]

Acta Oncologica, 2002
AIthough intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may increase the therapeutic ratio of radiotherapy for a range of malignancies, only a few IMRT treatments have yet been performed in the Nordic countries. The scores derived from a national survey to assess Norwegian oncologists' expectations of IMRT are presented. A questionnaire was distributed to all
