Is modern external beam radiotherapy with androgen deprivation therapy still a viable alternative for prostate cancer in an era of robotic surgery and brachytherapy: a comparison of Australian series.

Journal of medical imaging and radiation oncology
INTRODUCTION: We compare the results of modern external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT), using combined androgen deprivation and dose-escalated intensity-modulated radiotherapy with MRI-CT fusion and daily image guidance with fiducial markers (DE-IG-IMRT), ...

Prediction of the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy using computational intelligence.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are investigated to predict the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy. In the proposed models, the input parameters are field size (...

Comparison of 3D and 4D Monte Carlo optimization in robotic tracking stereotactic body radiotherapy of lung cancer.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
PURPOSE: To investigate the adequacy of three-dimensional (3D) Monte Carlo (MC) optimization (3DMCO) and the potential of four-dimensional (4D) dose renormalization (4DMCrenorm) and optimization (4DMCO) for CyberKnife (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) ra...
