Purpose Accurate 3D image segmentation is a crucial step in radiation therapy planning of head and neck tumors. These segmentation results are currently obtained by manual …
High-energy ion beams are successfully used in cancer therapy and precisely deliver high doses of ionizing radiation to small deep-seated target volumes. A similar noninvasive …
The high conformality of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) dose distributions causes treatment plans to be sensitive to geometrical changes during the course of a …

Online adaption approaches for intensity modulated proton therapy for head and neck patients based on cone beam CTs and Monte Carlo simulations - IOPscience Skip to content IOP …
Purpose This work evaluates an online adaptive (OA) workflow for head-and-neck (H&N) intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and compares it with full offline replanning (FOR) …
Simple Summary Daily adaptive proton therapy will allow the unique properties of protons to be fully exploited. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is the primary imaging modality considered for …
Simple Summary Adaptive proton therapy requires taking images over the course of treatment to correct the plan for anatomy changes. Most workflows assume daily imaging for …
Purpose: Multiatlas based segmentation is largely used in many clinical and research applications. Due to its good performances, it has recently been included in some …
Purpose The growing use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a substitute for computed tomography‐based treatment planning requires the development of effective …
