Comparison of Radiobiological Models for Radiation Therapy Plans of Prostate Cancer: Three-dimensional Conformal versus Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Purpose: In the current study, using different radiobiological models, tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of radiotherapy plans were calculated for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.Methods and Materials: 10 prostate plans were randomly selected among patients ...
متن کاملFLUENCE MAP OPTIMIZATION IN INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY FOR FUZZY TARGET DOSE
Although many methods exist for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) fluence map optimization for crisp data, based on clinical practice, some of the involved parameters are fuzzy. In this paper, the best fluence maps for an IMRT procedure were identifed as a solution of an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function, where the prescribed target dose vector was fuzzy. First, a d...
متن کاملThe Relationship between the Different Prostate Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Techniques and Patient’s Anatomical Parameters
Introduction: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is a common method for treating prostate cancers. Different IMRT methods can apply for irradiating the prostate, but there is not clear that which of these methods can provide better dose distribution for each patient individually. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the different prosta...
