Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of image-guided radiation therapy.
Lei Xing,B. Thorndyke,Eduard Schreibmann,Yong Yang,Tian Fang Li,Gwe-Ya Kim,Gary Luxton,Albert C. Koong +7 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to summarize recent advancements in IGRT and discussed various practical issues related to the implementation of the new imaging techniques available to radiation oncology community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abdominal CT With Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR): Initial Results of a Prospective Trial Comparing Ultralow-Dose With Standard-Dose Imaging
Perry J. Pickhardt,Meghan G. Lubner,David H. Kim,Jie Tang,Julie A. Ruma,Alejandro Munoz del Rio,Guang-Hong Chen +6 more
TL;DR: MBIR shows great potential for substantially reducing radiation doses at routine abdominal CT and both FBP and ASIR are limited in this regard owing to reduced image quality and diagnostic capability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing of the analytical anisotropic algorithm for photon dose calculation.
Ann Van Esch,Laura Tillikainen,Jukka Pyykkonen,Mikko Tenhunen,H Helminen,Sami Siljamaki,Jyrki Alakuijala,Marta Paiusco,Mauro Iori,Dominique Huyskens +9 more
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
Quality assurance for computed-tomography simulators and the computed-tomography-simulation process: report of the AAPM Radiation Therapy Committee Task Group No. 66.
Sasa Mutic,Jatinder R. Palta,Elizabeth Butker,Indra J. Das,M. Saiful Huq,Leh Nien Dick Loo,Bill J. Salter,Cynthia H. McCollough,Jacob Van Dyk +8 more
TL;DR: This document presents recommendations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine for quality assurance of computed-tomography- (CT) simulators and CT-simulation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
History of tomotherapy
TL;DR: This review documents technological advancements of the field concentrating on the conceptual beginnings through to its first clinical implementation of helical tomotherapy.
