Image registration and fusion algorithms exist in almost every software system that creates or
uses images in radiotherapy. Most treatment planning systems support some form of image …

Tumor control probability (TCP) model calculations may be used in a relative manner to
evaluate and optimize three-dimensional (3-D) treatment plans. Using a mathematical model …

Although it is well known that the tolerance of the liver to external beam irradiation depends
on the volume of liver irradiated, few data exist which quantify this dependence. Therefore, a …

This paper provides an overview of image registration and data fusion techniques used in
radiation therapy, and examples of their use. They are used at all stages of the patient …

Purpose For chemotherapy to act synergistically and safely with radiation against high-grade
gliomas, drugs must pass the endothelial junctions of the blood-tumor barrier (BTB) to …

The looming potential of deformable alignment tools to play an integral role in adaptive
radiotherapy suggests a need for objective assessment of these complex algorithms. Previous …

Post‐implant dosimetric analysis for permanent implant of the prostate benefits from the use
of a computed tomography (CT) dataset for optimal identification of the radioactive source (…

Purpose: The influence of treatment parameters, such as (a) fraction size and (b) average and
maximum dose (as derived from three-dimensional (3D) distributions), on the incidence of …

The advent of dynamic radiotherapy modeling and treatment techniques requires an
infrastructure to weigh the merits of various interventions (breath holding, gating, tracking). The …

In this study we investigated the accumulation of dose to a deforming anatomy (such as lung)
based on voxel tracking and by using time weighting factors derived from a breathing …
