  1. 11. On Quality in Radiotherapy Treatment Plan Optimisation

    Författare :Hunor Benedek; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pareto optimisation; Pareto fronts; Dose prediction; Machine learning; Deliverable treatment plans; Volumetric modulated arc therapy; IMRT; patient-specific plan quality; plan quality; Multi Criteria Optimisation; Automated Treatment Planning;

    Sammanfattning : Radiotherapy is one of the essential treatments used in the fight against cancer. The goal of radiotherapy is to deliver a high dose of ionising radiation to the tumour volume and at the same time minimise the effect on healthy tissue by reducing the radiation to critical organs.

  3. 12. Out-of-field doses from proton therapy and doses from CBCT imaging : Risk of radiation-induced second cancer from modern radiotherapy

    Författare :Oscar Ardenfors; Irena Gudowska; Alexandru Dasu; Cathrine Jonsson; Pawel Olko; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Sammanfattning : The use of ionizing radiation for treatment of cancer diseases is continuously increasing as patient survival is improving and new treatment techniques are emerging. While this development is beneficial for curing primary tumors, concerns have been raised regarding the unwanted dose contribution to healthy tissues of patients and the associated risk of radiation-induced second cancer (RISC).

  4. 13. Radiotherapy Gel Dosimetry: Development and Application of Normoxic Polymer Gels

    Författare :Helen Gustafsson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physics; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Radiofarmaceutisk teknik; Radiopharmaceutical technology; proton; LET; FT Raman spectroscopy; MRI; normoxic gel; IMRT; 3D verification; polymer gel dosimetry; radiologi;

    Sammanfattning : In many radiotherapy applications, true three-dimensional dosimetry with good spatial resolution that can be achieved in a single measurement would be of great value. Polymer gel dosimetry fulfils many of the demands on such a system. In this study, methods to facilitate the implementation of gel dosimetry have been investigated. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Development and application of composite energy deposition kernels for photon therapy planning

    Författare :Anders Eklöf; Simo Hyödynmaa; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Energy deposition kernels; volume overlap algorithm; radiotherapy planning; photon pencil beams; treatment optimization; biological treatment objectives; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years, the use of optimization algorithms in radiation therapy planning has increased dramatically. All optimization algorithms as well as most modern implementations of conventional therapy planning, use energy deposition kernels as a fundamental part of the calculations. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Secondary doses to healthy tissues from radiotherapy and modern imaging techniques

    Författare :Oscar Ardenfors; Irena Gudowska; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The use of ionizing radiation for treatment of cancer diseases is continuously increasing giving rise to several new questions and concerns. One of the most important aspects of this is the associated dose imparted to healthy tissues. This unwanted dose contribution is a result of both radiotherapy procedures and diagnostic imaging.
