Background
Radical chemoradiation is the standard of treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus and for patients with operable disease, but who are medically unfit or unwilling for surgery. As the esophagus is a central organ, the planning target volume (PTV) is central, lies close to the spinal cord and heart, and is surro...
Purpose
The study aimed to compare the dosimetric performance of Acuros® XB (AXB) and anisotropic analytical algorithm (AAA) for lung SBRT plans using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.
Methods
We compared the dose calculation algorithms AAA and either of the dose reporting modes of AXB (dose to medium (AXB-Dm) or dose to water (AXB-Dw)) algorithms imp...
Background: Natural The validation and clinical implementation of the PRIMO Monte
Carlo (MC) model of Clinac®iX Linear accelerator as an independent dose verification
and quality assurance (QA) tool for the SBRT lung treatment plans. Materials and
Methods: An independent MC based dose verification was performed for ten
volumetric modulated arc ther...
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is an important modality for radical radiotherapy of all major treatment sites. This study aims to compare Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA) and the two dose-reporting modes of Acuros XB (AXB) algorithm -the dose to medium option (Dm) and the dose to water option (Dw) in Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy...
Stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy (SRS/SRT) is a hypofractionated treatment where accurate dose calculation is of prime importance. The accuracy of the dose calculation depends on the treatment planning algorithm. This study is a retrospective dosimetric comparison of iPlanⓇ Monte Carlo (MC) and Pencil Beam (PB) algorithms in SRS/SRT plans of...
Purpose:
This study aims to model 6MV photon of Clinac®iX linear accelerator using PRIMO Monte Carlo (MC) code and to assess PRIMO as an independent MC-based dose verification and quality assurance tool.
Materials and methods:
The modeling of Clinac®iX linear accelerator has been carried out by using PRIMO simulation software (Version 0.3.1.1681...
The aim of this study is to compare the physical wedge (PW) with enhanced dynamic wedge (EDW) to determine the difference in the dose distribution affecting the treated breast and the contralateral breast, lungs, heart, esophagus, spine, and surrounding skin in the radiotherapy of breast cancer. Computed tomography (CT) data sets of 30 breast cance...
Medical cyclotron is a particle accelerator used in producing short lived radiotracers such as (18)F, (11)C, (15)O, (13)N etc. These radiotracers are labeled with suitable pharmaceuticals for use to gather information related to metabolic activity of the cell using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan. Target foil rupture is considered one of th...
