متن کاملA Simulation Study on Patient Setup Errors in External Beam Radiotherapy Using an Anthropomorphic 4D Phantom
Introduction Patient set-up optimization is required in radiotherapy to fill the accuracy gap between personalized treatment planning and uncertainties in the irradiation set-up. In this study, we aimed to develop a new method based on neural network to estimate patient geometrical setup using 4-dimensional (4D) XCAT anthropomorphic phantom. Materials and Methods To access 4D modeling of motion...
متن کاملRadioisotope determination of regional colonic transit in severe constipation: comparison with radio opaque markers.
Radio-opaque markers have a well established role in distinguishing between patients with normal and those with slow intestinal transit, but in the latter group their accuracy in defining the region of delay has not been established. To study regional colonic transit accurately the transit of a radioisotope labelled meal was determined and findings were compared with those of simultaneously ing...
متن کاملWE-G-BRCD-04: Development of Automated Determination Method of Robust Beam Directions against Patient Setup Errors Based on Spatial Distribution of Electron Density in Particle Therapy.
PURPOSE The three-dimensional (3D) dose distribution covering a tumor region tends to be more breakable if the beam's eye view (BEV) of the 3D electron density (ED) map in a beam direction changes more abruptly with large fluctuations. Our aim of this study was to develop an automated determination method of robust beam directions against the patient setup error based on the ED-based BEV in the...
متن کاملUtilization of Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) For Setup Verification and Determination of Setup Margin in Head and Neck Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Radiation therapy involves a multistep procedure; therefore, the error in patient set up is an inherent part of the treatment. Main purpose of this study was to determine the clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) in head and neck cancer patients. Material and Methods: A total of 15 patients who had daily p...
