A great deal of quantitative information regarding the dose–volume relationships of pelvic
organs at risk has been collected and analysed over the last 10 years. The need to improve …

The meticulous selection and utilisation of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) are essential
for optimal radiotherapy treatment delivery when using highly conformal treatment …

Purpose To compare target dose distribution, comformality, normal tissue avoidance, and
irradiated body volume (IBV) in 3DCRT using classic anatomical landmarks (c3DCRT) …

Objective: To investigate whether planning target volume (PTV) margins may be safely
reduced in radiotherapy of localized prostate cancer incorporating daily online tube potential …

Recent years have witnessed increasing use of positron emission tomography (PET) in
cancer staging and monitoring. In particular, 18 F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) has …

Influences of iodinated contrast media on dose calculation were studied in 26 patients.
Mean increases in monitor units by contrast media administration were less than 1% and …

The recent advances in radiation delivery can improve tumour control probability (TCP) and
reduce treatment-related toxicity. The use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in …

PURPOSE: Now that the follow-up time has exceeded 5 years, an estimate of the α/β ratio
can be presented. The additional late outcomes in patients treated with three-dimensional …

While the importance of a consistent rectal volume during radiation therapy planning and
treatment for patients receiving radiation therapy to the prostate is recognized, there is no …

Advances in radiotherapy planning reduced the volumes of irradiated normal tissue and
allowed safe dose escalation in prostate cancer. Image-guided radiotherapy solutions to …
