An image‐guided technique for planning and verification of supine craniospinal irradiation
We present a technique for planning and verification of craniospinal treatment with the patient in the supine position. Treatment delivery and verification is streamlined through the use of modern imaging techniques. Treatments use two lateral brain fields abutted to a single or pair of posterior spine fields. Treatment delivery is simplified by aligning all isocenters in the anterior-posterior...
متن کاملImpact of respiratory motion on breast tangential radiotherapy using the field-in-field technique compared to irradiation using physical wedges
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate whether the field-in-field (FIF) technique was more vulnerable to the impact of respiratory motion than irradiation using physical wedges (PWs). PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients with early stage breast cancer were enrolled. Computed tomography (CT) was performed during free breathing (FB). After the FB-CT data set acquisition, 2 additional CT scans wer...
متن کاملRelationships between Regional Radiation Doses and Cognitive Decline in Children Treated with Cranio-Spinal Irradiation for Posterior Fossa Tumors
Pediatric posterior fossa tumor (PFT) survivors who have been treated with cranial radiation therapy often suffer from cognitive impairments that might relate to IQ decline. Radiotherapy (RT) distinctly affects brain regions involved in different cognitive functions. However, the relative contribution of regional irradiation to the different cognitive impairments still remains unclear. We inves...
متن کاملEfficient Moving Mesh Technique Using Generalized Swapping
Three-dimensional real-life simulations are generally unsteady and involve moving geometries. Industries are currently still very far from performing such simulations on a daily basis, mainly due to the robustness of the moving mesh algorithm and their extensive computational cost. The proposed approach is a way to improve these two issues. This paper brings two new ideas. First, it demonstrate...
متن کاملA MultiPhase Field Concept: Numerical Simulations of Moving Phase Boundaries and Multiple Junctions
We present numerical simulations which support the formal asymptotic analysis relating a multi order parameter Allen{Cahn system to a multi phase interface problem with curvature dependent evolution of the interfaces and angle conditions at triple junctions. Within the gradient energy of the Allen{Cahn system, the normal to an interface between phases i and j is modeled by the irreducible repre...
