CT Dosimetry: What Has Been Achieved and What Remains to Be Done.

Investigative radiology
Radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) has become a hot topic due to an upward trend in the number of CT procedures worldwide and the relatively high doses associated with these procedures. The main aim of this review article is to provide an ove...

Robotic Dispersal Technique for 35 GBq of 140La in an L-polygon Pattern.

Health physics
In 2018, Defence Research and Development Canada, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada, led a field trial of survey and mapping of a large dispersion of radioactivity using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The intent was to disperse La materi...

[Application of Radiomics in Classification and Prediction of Benign and Malignant Lung Tumors].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
Aiming at the lack of quantitative evaluation methods in clinical diagnosis of lung cancer, a classification and prediction model of lung cancer based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) was constructed by using radiomics method. Firstly, the definition ...

Deep Learning Algorithm for Reducing CT Slice Thickness: Effect on Reproducibility of Radiomic Features in Lung Cancer.

Korean journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively assess the effect of CT slice thickness on the reproducibility of radiomic features (RFs) of lung cancer, and to investigate whether convolutional neural network (CNN)-based super-resolution (SR) algorithms can improve t...

Deep Learning Based Dosimetry Evaluation at Organs-at-Risk in Esophageal Radiation Treatment Planning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Rapid esophageal radiation treatment planning is often obstructed by manually adjusting optimization parameters. The adjustment process is commonly guided by the dose-volume histogram (DVH), which evaluates dosimetry at planning target volume (PTV) a...

Can the Student Outperform the Master? A Plan Comparison Between Pinnacle Auto-Planning and Eclipse knowledge-Based RapidPlan Following a Prostate-Bed Plan Competition.

Technology in cancer research & treatment
PURPOSE: Pinnacle Auto-Planning and Eclipse RapidPlan are 2 major commercial automated planning engines that are fundamentally different: Auto-Planning mimics real planners in the iterative optimization, while RapidPlan generates static dose objectiv...

A mathematical framework for virtual IMRT QA using machine learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: It is common practice to perform patient-specific pretreatment verifications to the clinical delivery of IMRT. This process can be time-consuming and not altogether instructive due to the myriad sources that may produce a failing result. The...

Dosimetric and delivery efficiency investigation for treating hepatic lesions with a MLC-equipped robotic radiosurgery-radiotherapy combined system.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The CyberKnife M6 (CK-M6) Series introduced a multileaf collimator (MLC) for extending its capability from stereotactic radiosurgery/stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. This work is to investigate th...

Proposal for a Simple and Efficient Monthly Quality Management Program Assessing the Consistency of Robotic Image-Guided Small Animal Radiation Systems.

Health physics
Modern pre-clinical radiation therapy (RT) research requires high precision and accurate dosimetry to facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice. Several systems are available that provide precise delivery and on-board ima...
