Ultrasound in the radiotherapy planning process
2021In chapter 5 the role of ultrasound in the first stage of the radiotherapy workflow, planning, is introduced: it can be used to identify the anatomical structures important for radiotherapy planning, in particular the treatment target. Practical challenges are highlighted, for example, how to acquire the simulation CT scan with the ultrasound probe in ...

Virtual simulation in radiotherapy planning
1995We present a new system for 3D radiotherapy planning, which allows the interactive definition of treatment parameters, the simulation of the “visible” part of the treatment and the evaluation of the precalculated dose distributions. The system makes extensive use of advanced 3D visualisation and simulation techniques, introduces a new visualisation ...

Autostereoscopic display for radiotherapy planning
SPIE Proceedings, 1997The work described here forms part of a program of research into the application of direct volume rendering methods to the visualization of radiation therapy plans. The full program covers a number of related topics, including the investigation of fast parallel algorithms for interactive rendering, the design of special protocols for communication ...

Automated Radiotherapy Treatment Planning
Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2019The "treatment planning" component of managing a radiotherapy patient currently consumes hours, even days, of human effort. The time and workforce demands of the current planning paradigm can expose patients to delays and potentially substandard treatments, all while standing as seemingly insurmountable roadblocks to adaptive radiotherapy.

Newer positron emission tomography radiopharmaceuticals for radiotherapy planning: an overview.
Annals of Translational Medicine, 2016Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has changed cancer imaging in the last decade, for better. It can be employed for radiation treatment planning of different cancers with improved accuracy and outcomes as compared to conventional ...

Radiotherapy planning of inclined lesions
The British Journal of Radiology, 1979The angulation of radiotherapy machines to treat inclined lesions was first described by Besford et al. (1964). A detailed mathematical analysis of the general case of an inclined lesion was carried out by Fleming and Orchard (1974), and their theory applied to two specific treatment techniques by Casebow (1976). These two techniques were: “Method 1” –

In contrast to radionuclide treatment, the planning of percutaneous radiotherapy relies on geometrical concepts and is therefore based on topographical imaging information. In addition to morphological imaging, PET offers relevant information in this process.

The Planning of New Radiotherapy Departments [PDF]
The British Journal of Radiology, 1963 We are all aware that the provision of radiotherapeutic facilities is expensive. Due to economic depression in South Wales in the 1920's and 30's nothing was done before the last war to fill this gap in the medical services in Cardiff. In the early 40's the Emergency Medical Service provided accommodation at the Whitchurch Mental Hospital for two deep ...

Optimization of rotational radiotherapy treatment planning
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1995Rotational therapy treatment planning for rotationally symmetric geometry of tumor and healthy tissue provides an important example of testing various approaches to optimizing dose distributions for therapeutic x-ray irradiations. In this article, dose distribution optimization is formulated as a variational problem. This problem is solved analytically
