A Mathematical Model of Tumor Volume Changes during Radiotherapy
(2013)
Purpose. To develop a clinically viable mathematical model that quantitatively predicts tumor volume change during radiotherapy in order to provide treatment response assessment for prognosis, treatment plan optimization, ...
Proctitis following stereotactic body radiation therapy for prostate cancer
(2014-12)
Background
Proctitis after radiation therapy for prostate cancer remains an ongoing clinical challenge and critical quality of life issue. SBRT could minimize rectal toxicity by reducing the volume of rectum receiving ...
Prognostic factor from MR spectroscopy in rat with astrocytic tumour during radiation therapy
(2014-11-27)
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between the tumour volume and metabolic rates of astrocytic tumours using MR spectroscopy (MRS) during radiation therapy (RT).
Methods:
12 healthy male Sprague-Dawley® rats ...
Radiation isocenter measurement devices and methods and 3-D radiation isocenter visualization systems and related methods
(2008-05-25)
A three-dimensional phantom assembly for use with a radiation treatment device includes a three-dimensional support member having at least two, spaced apart opposed surfaces configured to hold at least one generally planar ...
Diffusion and perfusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging for tumor volume definition in radiotherapy of brain tumors
(2016-09-21)
Abstract
Accurate target volume delineation is crucial for the radiotherapy of tumors. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional information about brain tumors, and they ...
