1. Development of a Whole Body Atlas for Radiation Therapy Planning and Treatment Optimization
Sammanfattning : The main objective of radiation therapy is to obtain the highest possible probability of tumor cure while minimizing adverse reactions in healthy tissues. A crucial step in the treatment process is to determine the location and extent of the primary tumor and its loco regional lymphatic spread in relation to adjacent radiosensitive anatomical structures and organs at risk.

2. Investigations on the application of a microtron accelerator for radiation therapy
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Improved dose response modeling for normal tissue damage and therapy optimization
Sammanfattning : The present thesis is focused on the development and application of dose response models for radiation therapy. Radiobiological models of tissue response to radiation are an integral part of the radiotherapeutic process and a powerful tool to optimize tumor control and minimize damage to healthy tissues for use in clinical trials.

4. Development of improved radiation therapy techniques using narrow scanned photon beams
Sammanfattning : The present thesis is focused on the development and application of narrow scanned high energy photon beam for radiation therapy. The introduction of physically and biologically optimized intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) requires a flexible and accurate dose delivery method to maximize the treatment outcome. LÄS MER
5. Biological optimization of angle of incidence and intensity modulation in breast and cervix cancer radiation therapy
Sammanfattning : Biological treatment optimization aim at improving radiation therapy by accounting for the radiobiological tumour and normal tissues response properties when optimizing the dose delivery. Generally traditional methods, using only dosimetrical measures, disregard the nonlinear radiation response of different tumours and normal tissues. LÄS MER
