BackgroundOne of the most significant Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy treatment benefits is a high target to normal tissue dose ratio. To improve this advantage, an additional accessory such as a compensator is used to delivering doses. Compensator-based IMRT treatment is usually operated with an energy higher than 10 MV. Photoneutrons, which have high linear energy transfer and radiobiol...
The build-up dose in the megavoltage photon beams can be a limiting factor in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments. Excessive surface dose can cause patient discomfort and treatment interruptions, while underdosing may lead to tumor repopulation and local failure. Dose in the build-up region was investigated for IMRT delivery with solid brass compensator technique(compensator...
The present work investigated the potential of compensator-based intensity-modulated radiation therapy (CB-IMRT) as an alternative to multileaf collimator (MLC)-based intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) post extrapleural pneumonectomy. Treatment plans for 4 right-sided and 1 left-sided MPM post-surgery cases were generated using a commercia...
Radiographic or silver halide film is a well-established 2D dosimeter with an unquestioned spatial resolution. But its higher sensitivity to low-energy photons has to be taken into consideration. Metal compensators or physical modulators to deliver intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) are known to change the beam energy spectrum and to produce scattered photons and contaminating electro...
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE This Medical Policy provides assistance in interpreting UnitedHealthcare benefit plans. When deciding coverage, the enrollee specific document must be referenced. The terms of an enrollee's document (e.g., Certificate of Coverage (COC) or Summary Plan Description (SPD)) may differ greatly. In the event of a conflict, the enrollee's specific benefit document supersedes this ...
The advanced developments in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) over the past few decades have improved dose conformity to the target while minimizing dose to the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two commonly used EBRT techniques to treat cancer. In sliding window (SW) or dynamic IMRT, each radiati...
When a brass compensator is set in a treatment beam, beam hardening may take place. This variation of the energy spectrum may affect the accuracy of dose calculation by a treatment planning system and the results of dose measurement of brass compensator intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). In addition, when X-rays pass the compensator, scattered photons are generated within the compens...
