A conformity index is a measure of how well the volume of a radiosurgical dose distribution conforms to the size and shape of a target volume. Because the success of radiosurgery is related to the extremely conformal irradiation of the target, an accurate method for describing this parameter is important. Existing conformity ratios and indices used in radiosurgery are reviewed and criticized. I...
In radiosurgery, conformity indices are often used to compare competing plans, evaluate treatment techniques, and assess clinical complications. Several different indices have been reported to measure the conformity of the prescription isodose to the target volume. The PITV recommended in the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) radiosurgery guidelines, defined as the ratio of the prescripti...
background: to evaluate the dosimetric difference between conventional and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3d-crt) using 6 and 18 mv x-ray photons. materials and methods: computed tomography scans of 26 pelvic patients were acquired and transferred to the 3d treatment planning system. for each patient, 8 conventional plans (3, 4, 5 and 6 fields) and one 3d-crt plan were prepared using...
A database of clinically approved stereotactic radiosurgery treatment plans was created. One hundred and seventy targets in the database were then retrospectively evaluated using conformity indices suggested by RTOG, SALT-Lomax and Paddick. Relationships between the three alternative conformity indices were determined. The Paddick index combines the information provided by the RTOG and SALT-Lom...
Methods AÂ retrospective study was carried out from November 2009 to March 2010. Medical records from adult inpatients submitted to cardiac, neurological and orthopedic clean surgeries were included. The quality indicators for antibiotic prophylaxis conformity were validated in a previous study. They were composed of six parameters of adequacy as stated by the Hospital Infection Control Committ...
AIMS To evaluate the dosimetric profile among three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for the treatment of intracranial tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients with intra cranial tumors of benign nature or low malignant potential were enrolled and planned for SRT as well as 3D-CRT. Dosimetric comparison between these two plans was done co...
OBJECTIVE To compare treatment plans obtained with the CyberKnife (CK) (Accuray, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) with those of other commonly used radiosurgical modalities, such as the gamma knife (GK), linear accelerator multiple arcs, conformally shaped static fields, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). METHODS An ellipsoidal simulated target was chosen centrally located in a three-dimensiona...
