Current State of Image Guidance in Radiation Oncology: Implications for PTV Margin Expansion and Adaptive Therapy
2018, Seminars in Radiation OncologyCitation Excerpt :Image guidance during radiotherapy planning and treatment delivery provides essential information on target and organ locations,13 and geometrical uncertainties including setup, breathing motion, organ filling, and dose-response changes. The clinical usage of 2D flat-panel imaging systems matured at the turn of the century and gave way to electronic panel imaging devices (EPID) and stereoscopic X-rays.14-17 3D Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) has become an indispensable tool for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)1,18 and adaptive proton therapy.19
Application of Current Radiation Delivery Systems and Radiobiology
2018, Principles of Neurological SurgeryInitial clinical experience with a frameless and maskless stereotactic radiosurgery treatment
2012, Practical Radiation OncologyCitation Excerpt :Rigid immobilization also leads to patient fatigue and discomfort during treatments. More recently, image guided frameless stereotactic radiosurgery has been implemented in some institutions with linear accelerators.9-26 Most of these systems use patient-specific masks for immobilization27,28 and an image guided localization method, such as external tracking of infrared markers,11,13,17,18,22 internal localization of implanted radio-opaque fiducials,14,24,25 or biplanar X-ray image matching,19,26 to align and monitor the patient during treatment.
