Treatment planning in molecular radiotherapy

Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, 2013
In molecular radiotherapy a radionuclide or a radioactively labelled pharmaceutical is administered to the patient. Treatment planning therefore comprises the determination of activity to administer. This administered activity should maximize tumour cell sterilization while minimizing normal tissue damage.

Radiotherapy planning using MRI

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2015
The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in radiotherapy (RT) planning is rapidly expanding. We review the wide range of image contrast mechanisms available to MRI and the way they are exploited for RT planning. However a number of challenges are also considered: the requirements that MR images are acquired in the RT treatment position, that they ...
