Journal ArticleDOI
A technique for the quantitative evaluation of dose distributions
TL;DR: A composite distribution has recently been developed that presents the dose difference in regions that fail both dose-difference and DTA comparison criteria, and a technique is developed to unify dose distribution comparisons using the acceptance criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
The management of respiratory motion in radiation oncology report of AAPM Task Group 76.
Paul J. Keall,Paul J. Keall,Gig S. Mageras,James M. Balter,Richard S. Emery,Kenneth Forster,Steve B. Jiang,Jeffrey M. Kapatoes,Daniel A. Low,Martin J. Murphy,Brad Murray,Chester R. Ramsey,Marcel van Herk,Sastry Vedam,John Wong,Ellen Yorke +15 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of respiratory motion is described, radiotherapy specific problems caused by respiratory motion are discussed, techniques that explicitly manage respiratory motion during radiotherapy are explained, and recommendations in the application of these techniques for patient care are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidance document on delivery, treatment planning, and clinical implementation of IMRT: Report of the IMRT subcommittee of the AAPM radiation therapy committee
Gary A. Ezzell,James M. Galvin,Daniel A. Low,Jatinder R. Palta,Isaac I. Rosen,Michael B. Sharpe,Ping Xia,Ying Xiao,Lei Xing,Cedric X. Yu +9 more
TL;DR: This report provides the framework and guidance to allow clinical radiation oncology physicists to make judicious decisions in implementing a safe and efficient IMRT program in their clinics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the gamma dose distribution comparison method
Daniel A. Low,James F. Dempsey +1 more
TL;DR: The gamma distribution behavior in two dimensions is examined and the gamma quantity, calculated independently for each reference point, is the minimum distance in the renormalized multidimensional space between the evaluated distribution and the reference point.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of salivary function sparing in patients with head-and-neck cancers receiving intensity-modulated or three-dimensional radiation therapy: initial results
K.S.Clifford Chao,Joseph O. Deasy,Jerry Markman,Joyce Haynie,Carlos A. Perez,James A. Purdy,Daniel A. Low +6 more
TL;DR: Sparing of the parotid glands translates into objective and subjective improvement of both xerostomia and QOL scores in patients with head-and-neck cancers receiving radiation therapy, and modeling results suggest an exponential relationship between saliva flow reduction and meanParotid dose for each gland.
