  1. 1. 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. 2. Automated radiation therapy treatment planning by increased accuracy of optimization tools

    Författare :Lovisa Engberg; Anders Forsgren; Marina A. Epelman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; intensity-modulated radiation therapy; radiation therapy treatment planning; automated radiation therapy treatment planning; interior-point methods; Optimering; intensitetsmodulerad strålbehandling; dosplanering; automatiserad dosplanering; inrepunktsmetoder; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Every radiation therapy treatment is preceded by a treatment planning phase. In this phase, a treatment plan that specifies exactly how to irradiate the patient is designed by the treatment planner. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Geometric distortions in MRI based radiotherapy and PET/MRI

    Författare :Josef Lundman; Tufve Nyholm; Anne Larsson; Jörgen Olofsson; Marco Riboldi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; MRI; PET MR; PET MRI; medical imaging; radiotherapy; geometrical distortions; MR-only; MRI-only; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Sammanfattning : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers high soft-tissue contrast compared to computed tomography (CT). This contrast is helpful in many cases, not least for delineating tumours for radiotherapy treatment, and has led to increasing use in radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Toward Robust Optimization of Adaptive Radiation Therapy

    Författare :Michelle Böck; Anders Forsgren; Minsun Kim; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimization; adaptive radiation therapy; radiation therapy treatment planning; uncertainty; robust optimization; stochastic programming; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : Adaptive radiation therapy is an evolving cancer treatment approach which relies on adapting the treatment plan in response to patient-specific interfractional geometric variations occurring during the fractionated treatment. If those variations are not addressed through adaptive replanning, the resulting treatment quality may be compromised. LÄS MER
