The Italian “iort Project”
The “Intra Operative Radiation Therapy” (IORT) represents the latest technological frontier in radiotherapy. The technique utilizes accelerated electrons, as from a tailored designed EB-machine, to destroy rapidly spreading malignant cancer cells and it is appraised to allow a 15% general increase of cancer patients survival. The Italian “IORT Project”, funded by the Italian Ministry of Researc...
متن کاملMR image‐based synthetic CT for IMRT prostate treatment planning and CBCT image‐guided localization
The purpose of this study was to propose and evaluate a method of creating a synthetic CT (S-CT) from MRI simulation for dose calculation and daily CBCT localization. A pair of MR and CT images was obtained in the same day from each of 10 prostate patients. The pair of MR and CT images was preregistered using the deformable image registration (DIR). Using the corresponding displacement vector f...
متن کاملMonte Carlo-based inverse treatment planning.
A Monte Carlo based inverse treatment planning system (MCI) has been developed which combines arguably the most accurate dose calculation method (Monte Carlo particle transport) with a 'guaranteed' optimization method (simulated annealing). A distribution of photons is specified in the tumour volume; they are transported using an adjoint calculation method to outside the patient surface to buil...
متن کاملAn Approach in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Fast, GPU-Based Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: An accurate and fast radiation dose calculation is essential for successful radiation radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to implement a new graphic processing unit (GPU) based radiation therapy treatment planning for accurate and fast dose calculation in radiotherapy centers. Materials and Methods: A program was written for parallel runnin...
متن کاملCT-Based Brachytherapy Treatment Planning using Monte Carlo Simulation Aided by an Interface Software
Introduction: In brachytherapy, radioactive sources are placed close to the tumor, therefore, small changes in their positions can cause large changes in the dose distribution. This emphasizes the need for computerized treatment planning. The usual method for treatment planning of cervix brachytherapy uses conventional radiographs in the Manchester system. Nowadays, because of their advantages ...
