Computed radiography (CR) systems have been gaining adoption as digital replacements for film for diagnostic and therapy imaging. As a result, film processors are being removed from service, leaving a void for the medical physicists who use film and processors for two-dimensional mega-voltage beam dosimetry. This is the first report to evaluate the ability of a commercial CR reader and storage ...

In order to provide automatic IMRT dose delivery with an add-on MMLC a technical integration of a MMLC system with a linear accelerator was realized. The principle of this integration and the changes and enhancements of the existing hard- and software are briefly described. The system was tested by the automatic delivery of an IMRT plan designed for a head and neck phantom. A verification of do...

OBJECTIVES This investigation was designed to determine the relationship between National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) ATP-II lipid guidelines and subclinical atherosclerosis, defined by electron beam tomography (EBT) calcified coronary plaque, in asymptomatic women. BACKGROUND NCEP guidelines are used to identify women at increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) on the basis ...

Purpose. To assess for differences in clinical, radiologic, and pathologic outcomes between patients with stage II-III rectal adenocarcinoma treated neoadjuvantly with conventional external beam radiotherapy (3D conformal radiotherapy (3DRT) or intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)) versus high-dose-rate endorectal brachytherapy (EBT). Methods. Patients undergoing neoadjuvant EBT received 4 c...

Since 1997, linac based stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) of uveal melanoma has been continuously developed at the Department of Radiotherapy, Medical University Vienna. The aim of the present study was (i) to test a new type of radiochromic film (Gafchromic EBT) for dosimetric verification of class solutions for these treatments and (ii) to verify treatment plan acceptance criteria, which are ba...

BACKGROUND A modified form of high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been developed called Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy (EBT). EBT uses a kilovolt X-ray source and does not require treatment in a shielded vault or a HDR afterloader unit. A multi-center clinical study was carried out to evaluate the success of treatment delivery, safety and toxicity of EBT in patients with endometrial cancer....

This study proposes a respiratory compensating system which is mounted on the top of the treatment couch for reverse motion, opposite from the direction of the targets (diaphragm and hemostatic clip), in order to offset organ displacement generated by respiratory motion. Traditionally, in the treatment of cancer patients, doctors must increase the field size for radiation therapy of tumors beca...

High-dose rate endorectal brachytherapy (HDR-EBT) is mainly used as a palliative treatment modality. In this paper, we compare dosimetry distributions for a single-channel catheter (Miami) applicator with distributions of the inflatable multichannel (Novi Sad) endorectal applicator. The comparisons were made with respect to dose coverage to the clinical tumor volume as well as to the bladder, r...
