Automated field‐in‐field whole brain radiotherapy planning

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2022
AbstractPurposeWe developed and tested an automatic field‐in‐field (FIF) solution for whole‐brain radiotherapy (WBRT) planning that creates a homogeneous dose distribution by minimizing hotspots, resulting in clinically acceptable plans.MethodsA configurable auto‐planning algorithm was developed to automatically generate FIF WBRT plans independent of ...

Whole brain radiotherapy for brain metastasis

Surgical Neurology International, 2013
Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is a mainstay of treatment in patients with both identifiable brain metastases and prophylaxis for microscopic disease. The use of WBRT has decreased somewhat in recent years due to both advances in radiation technology, allowing for a more localized delivery of radiation, and growing concerns regarding the late toxicity

Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy in combination with whole brain radiotherapy for brain metastases [PDF]

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2008
The efficacy and toxicity of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) in combination with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), for the treatment of 1-4 brain metastases, using a non invasive fixation of the skull, was investigated.Between 04/2001 and 01/2006 30 patients with 44 brain metastases underwent irradiation.
