Image-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کاملA contour-guided deformable image registration algorithm for adaptive radiotherapy.
In adaptive radiotherapy, deformable image registration is often conducted between the planning CT and treatment CT (or cone beam CT) to generate a deformation vector field (DVF) for dose accumulation and contour propagation. The auto-propagated contours on the treatment CT may contain relatively large errors, especially in low-contrast regions. A clinician's inspection and editing of the propa...
متن کاملConcept for quantifying the dose from image guided radiotherapy
BACKGROUND Radiographic image guidance is routinely used for patient positioning in radiotherapy. All radiographic guidance techniques can give a significant radiation dose to the patient. The dose from diagnostic imaging is usually managed by using effective dose minimization. In contrast, image-guided radiotherapy adds the imaging dose to an already high level of therapeutic radiation which c...
متن کاملDynamic targeting image-guided radiotherapy.
Volumetric imaging and planning for 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) have highlighted the need to the oncology community to better understand the geometric uncertainties inherent in the radiotherapy delivery process, including setup error (interfraction) as well as organ motion during treatment (intrafraction). This has ushered in the develop...
متن کاملStatistical Image Reconstruction and Motion Estimation for Image-Guided Radiotherapy
Statistical Image Reconstruction and Motion Estimation for Image-Guided Radiotherapy by Yong Long Co-Chairs: Jeffrey A. Fessler and James M. Balter Image reconstruction and motion estimation are very important for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Three-dimensional reconstruction of patient anatomy using X-ray computed tomography (CT) allows identification of the location of a tumor prior to tr...
