Journal ArticleDOI
Testing of the analytical anisotropic algorithm for photon dose calculation.

TL;DR: Compared to SPB, the penumbra modeling is considerably improved and at the interface between solid water and cork, profiles show a better agreement with AAA, and depth dose curves in the cork are substantially better with AAA than with SPB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy of Brain Tumors: Clinical Trials at the Finnish Facility Using Boronophenylalanine
Heikki Joensuu,Leena Kankaanranta,Tiina Seppälä,Iiro Auterinen,Merja Kallio,Martti Kulvik,Juha Laakso,Jyrki Vähätalo,Mika Kortesniemi,Mika Kortesniemi,Petri Kotiluoto,Tom Serén,Johanna Karila,Antti Brander,Eija Järviluoma,Päiivi Ryynänen,Anders Paetau,Inkeri Ruokonen,Heikki Minn,Mikko Tenhunen,Juha Jääskeläinen,Markus Färkkilä,Sauli Savolainen +22 more
TL;DR: BPA-based BNCT has been relatively well tolerated both in previously irradiated and unirradiated glioblastoma patients, and Efficacy comparisons with conventional photo radiation are difficult due to patient selection and confounding factors such as other treatments given, but the results support continuation of clinical research on BPA-by-BNCT.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dual model HU conversion from MRI intensity values within and outside of bone segment for MRI-based radiotherapy treatment planning of prostate cancer.
TL;DR: It is indicated that it is possible to construct high quality pseudo-CT images by converting the intensity values of a single MRI series into HUs in the male pelvis, and to use these images for accurate MRI-based prostate RTP dose calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceptance tests and quality control (QC) procedures for the clinical implementation of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using inverse planning and the sliding window technique: experience from five radiotherapy departments.
Ann Van Esch,J. Bohsung,Pekka Sorvari,Mikko Tenhunen,Marta Paiusco,Mauro Iori,Per Engström,Håkan Nyström,Dominique Huyskens +8 more
TL;DR: The configurational MLC parameters obtained through different methods are not identical for all centres, but the observed variations have shown to be of no significant clinical relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sparing of the submandibular glands by intensity modulated radiotherapy in the treatment of head and neck cancer.
Kauko Saarilahti,Mauri Kouri,Juhani Collan,Aki Kangasmäki,Timo Atula,Heikki Joensuu,Mikko Tenhunen +6 more
TL;DR: Submandibular gland sparing with IMRT is safe in selected patients treated for head and neck cancer and is effective in prevention of radiation-associated xerostomia.
