Visualising the urethra for prostate radiotherapy planning. [PDF]
J Med Radiat Sci, 2021 AbstractIntroductionThe prostatic urethra is an organ at risk for prostate radiotherapy with genitourinary toxicities a common side effect. Many external beam radiation therapy protocols call for urethral sparing, and with modulated radiotherapy techniques, the radiation dose distribution can be controlled so that maximum doses do not fall within the ...

Robust radiotherapy planning [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2018 Motion and uncertainty in radiotherapy is traditionally handled via margins. The clinical target volume (CTV) is expanded to a larger planning target volume (PTV), which is irradiated to the prescribed dose. However, the PTV concept has several limitations, especially in proton therapy. Therefore, robust and probabilistic optimization methods have been

The grid-dose-spreading algorithm for dose distribution calculation in heavy charged particle radiotherapy [PDF]
Medical Physics 35(2) 602-607, 2008, 2007 A new variant of the pencil-beam (PB) algorithm for dose distribution calculation for radiotherapy with protons and heavier ions, the grid-dose spreading (GDS) algorithm, is proposed. The GDS algorithm is intrinsically faster than conventional PB algorithms due to approximations in convolution integral, where physical calculations are decoupled from ...

Rectal dosimetry in intracavitary applications of cervix carcinoma: Comparison of two methods [PDF]
Archive of Oncology, 2002 BACKGROUND: Brachytherapy of cervix carcinoma often results in high doses to surrounding structures, such as rectum and bladder. Therefore, these organs should be closely monitored.
