Quantitative accuracy of 177Lu SPECT imaging for molecular radiotherapy
The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimal reference geometry for gamma camera calibration. Yet another question of interest was to assess the influence of the number of 3D Ordered Subsets Expectation Maximization (3D-OSEM) updates on activity quantification for SPECT imaging with 177Lu. The accuracy of 177Lu activity quantification was assessed both in small and in large objects. ...
متن کاملQuantitative Electron Density CT Imaging for Radiotherapy Planning
Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality used to calculate the deposit of dose in radiotherapy planning, where the physical interactions are modelled based upon the electron density, which can be calculated from CT images. Traditionally this is a three step process: linearising the raw x-ray measurements and correcting for beamhardening and scatter; inverting the system with analytic or...
متن کاملAnatomical imaging for radiotherapy.
The goal of radiation therapy is to achieve maximal therapeutic benefit expressed in terms of a high probability of local control of disease with minimal side effects. Physically this often equates to the delivery of a high dose of radiation to the tumour or target region whilst maintaining an acceptably low dose to other tissues, particularly those adjacent to the target. Techniques such as in...
متن کاملImaging for pelvic radiotherapy
Three dimensional (3D) imaging is key to the successful planning and delivery of pelvic radiotherapy treatment and is integrated into every step of the radiotherapy treatment pathway. Diagnostic and therapeutic imaging technology has evolved in the last decade, increasing the complexity of imaging choices available for target localisation, and introducing soft tissue visualisation into the trea...
متن کاملImaging for new radiotherapy techniques
Radiotherapy could be considerably improved by the recent development of three-dimensional intensity-modulated radiation therapy. This technique allows the concept of so-called dose painting or adaptive dose distribution to be implemented with improved aligning of the dose distribution along the complex geometric arrangements of the tumour and the surround healthy critical structures. This enab...
