background: we have validated the monitor unit calculations from a commercially available treatment planning system (tps) for three intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt) planning techniques for tangential breast irradiation by using ionization chamber measurements. materials and methods: treatment plans were generated for forty-two breast patients by a forward planned field in field technique...
Purpose: To develop and validate an automatic algorithm for the detection and functional assessment of lung tumors on three-dimensional respiratory gated PET/CT images. Method and Materials: First the algorithm will automatically segment lung regions in CT images, then identify and localize focal increases of activity in lung regions of PET images at each gated bin. Once the tumor voxels have b...
Background and purpose: Dose calculations in trachea HDR brachytherapy treatment planning systems are greatly based on TG-43 protocol in which, all materials including air inside trachea are treated the same as water. The aim of this study was to survey the effect of air on dose calculations of Flexiplan treatment planning system in trachea HDR brachytherapy. Materials and methods: To ev...
This study evaluated the accuracy of measuring the motion of an internal target using four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) scanning and the BrainLAB ExacTrac X-ray imaging system. Displacements of a metal coil implanted in a commercial respiratory phantom were measured in each system and compared to the known motion. A commercial respiratory motion phantom containing a metal coil as a su...
*Corresponding author: Muhammad Ismail, Department of Physics, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, 60800-Pakistan. E-mail: [email protected] Background: Radiotherapy Treatment Planning requires different dosimetric quantities as input in order to calculate a desired dose distribution. This study has been focused to evaluate the depth dose characteristics of superficial X-rays being use...
background: broca’s and wernicke’s areas, which are important language areas of brain, are commonly irradiated in patients with right frontal lobe glioblastomamultiforme (gbm). we aimed to compare two different treatment planning techniques in terms of the doses in the broca’s and wernicke’s areas for the patients with right frontal gbm. materials and methods: two different treatment planning t...
Introduction Interaluminal brachytherapy is one of the important methods of esophageal cancer treatment. The effect of applicator attenuation is not considered in dose calculation method released by AAPM-TG43. In this study, the effect of High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy esophageal applicator on dose distribution was surveyed in HDR brachytherapy. Materials and Methods A cylindrical PMMA phan...
introduction after the publication of task group number 43 dose calculation formalism by the american association of physicists in medicine (aapm), this method has been known as the most common dose calculation method in brachytherapy treatment planning. in this formalism, the water phantom is introduced as the reference dosimetry phantom, while the attenuation coefficient of the sources in the...
The accuracy of the photon convolution/superposition dose algorithm employed in a commercial radiation treatment planning system was evaluated for conditions simulating tangential breast treatment. A breast phantom was fabricated from machineable wax and placed on the chest wall of an anthropomorphic phantom. Radiographic film was used to measure the dose distribution at the axial midplane of t...
In this paper, we present a novel implementation of a dose calculation application, based on the GEANT4 Monte Carlo toolkit. Validation studies were performed with an homogeneous water phantom and an Alderson-Rando anthropomorphic phantom both irradiated with high-energy photon beams produced by a clinical linear accelerator. As input, this tool requires computer tomography images for automatic...
