A prospective radiobiological study of acute esophagitis and swallowing dysfunction in head-and-neck radiotherapy

Introduction: Esophagitis is one of the main causes of swallowing dysfunction after radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC).It significantly affects patients’ quality of life as well as having a potentially negative impact on their long term survival. However, little has been investigated on the dose-response and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of es...

Comparison of Absorbed Dose in Thyroid and Lens as Organs at Risk Between in vivo Dosimetry and 3-D Treatment Planning Calculation in Head and Neck Radiotherapy by Linac Beam

Introduction: Critical organs and structures may receive significant amounts of irradiation even if they are not the target of radiotherapy or located outside the treatment field. Although the sensitive thyroid gland and lens are not directly the targets of treatment, they can be affected by irradiation during the treatment of tumours in head and neck region. The purpose of thi...

Geometric distortion evaluation of magnetic resonance images by a new large field of view phantom for magnetic resonance based radiotherapy purposes

Background: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiotherapy planning method have been considered in recent years because of the advantages of MRI and the problems of planning with two images modality. The first step in MRI-based radiotherapy is to evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) images geometric distortion. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate system related geometric distort...
