چکیده

background: craniospinal radiotherapy faces technical challenges which are due to the sensitivity of the location in which the gross tumor is, and to organs at risk around planning target volume. using modern treatment planning systems causes a reduction in the complexities of the treatment techniques. the most effective method to assess the dosimetric accuracy and the validity of the software used for treatment planning is to investigate the radiotherapy and treatment planning by means of a anthropomorphic rando phantom which was used here for treatment planning and practical dosimetry for craniospinal radiotherapy. studying the absorbed dose by the organs at risk was the secondary objective discussed in this paper. materials and methods: treatment planning in craniospinal radiotherapy was done using coreplan 3d treatment planning software. radiotherapy was administered on a anthropomorphic rando phantom and practical dosimetry was done using gr-200 tlds. varian clinac 2100c/d was used for radiotherapy. results: the absorbed dose by regions of interest was separately calculated for treatment planning and radiotherapy. except the conjunction areas of the cranial and spinal radiation fields, the difference among the results was not more than 5%. full comparison of the results for each part has been presented. conclusion: the comparison the results of practical dosimetry and treatment planning software supports the validity of coreplan treatment planning system. also analysis of the absorbed dose through organs at risk showed that the absorbed dose by organs at risk have an acceptable value with respect to tolerance dose of these organs. the only unacceptable result was related to thyroid. iran. j. radiat. res., 2011 9(3): 151-158

Optimization of 3D Planning Dosimetry in a Breast Phantom for the Match Region of Supraclavicular and Tangential Fields

Introduction: The complex geometry of breast and also lung and heart inhomogeneities near the planning target volume (PTV) result in perturbations in dose distribution. This problem can result in overdosage or underdosage in the match region of the three treatment fields. The purpose of this study is to create a homogeneous dose distribution in the match region between the supraclavicular and t...

Evaluation of Dose Calculation Accuracy of Isogray Treatment Planning System in Craniospinal Radiotherapy

Introduction: Craniospinal radiotherapy is a therapeutic technique for central nervous system (CNS) tumors, which requires meticulous attention to technique and dosimetry.Treatment planning system (TPS) is one of the main equipment in radiotherapy; therefore, the evaluation of its accuracy is essential for dose calculation. The present study evaluates the validity of Isogray TPS in craniospinal...

Dosimetric Comparison of Two Craniospinal Radiotherapy Techniques for Treatment Optimization

Introduction: Orthogonal radial fields are those in which the central axes are perpendicular to each other. An example of these orthogonal fields is the set of craniospinal orthogonal fields that are used for radiotherapy of medulloblastoma. Craniospinal radial fields consist of two parallel-opposed fields for brain exposure and one or two posterior spinal fields for spinal cord exposure. The m...

Dose Measurements of Parotid Glands and Spinal Cord in Conventional Treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Using RANDO Phantom and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters

Introduction Radiotherapy is regarded as the first treatment of choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Despite the advantages of radiotherapy, patients may suffer from a wide range of side-effects due to the presence of many sensitive normal tissues in these regions. If the absorbed dose exceeds the tolerance level in parotid glands and the spinal cord, myelopathy, Lhermitte's sign and xerostomia...
