Dose painting is the prescription of a nonuniform radiation dose distribution to the target
volume based on functional or molecular images shown to indicate the local risk of relapse …

Lung cancer is the primary reason of cancer deaths worldwide, and the percentage of death
rate is increasing step by step. There are chances of recovering from lung cancer by …

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of different hypoxia dose painting strategies in head-
and-neck radiotherapy; the potential benefit was limited by the stipulation of isotoxicity with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Focused dose escalation may improve local control in
head and neck cancer. Planning results of [18F] fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission …

A new inverse treatment planning system (TPS) for external beam radiation therapy with
high energy photons is commercially available that utilizes both dose‐volume‐based cost …

Rationale Advanced imaging techniques allow functional information to be derived and
integrated into treatment planning. Methods A systematic review was conducted with the …

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of registering hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic
resonance images (3He-MRI) to X-ray computed tomography (CT) for functionally weighted …

Purpose. The study presents the implementation of a novel method for incorporating hypoxia
information from PET-CT imaging into treatment planning and estimates the efficiency of …

Oxygen distribution is a major determinant of treatment success in radiotherapy, with well-
oxygenated tumour regions responding by up to a factor of three relative to anoxic volumes …

Purpose: To assess quantitatively the impact of incorporating functional lung imaging into
intensity-modulated radiation therapy planning for locally advanced non–small cell lung …
