BACKGROUND: Radiation dose distributions created by two dimensional (2D) treatment
planning are responsible for partial volumes receiving> 107% of the prescribed dose in a …

Clinical conformal radiotherapy is the holy grail of radiation treatment and is now becoming
a reality through the combined efforts of physical scientists and engineers, who have …

Purpose: We present a new technique to improve dose uniformity and potentially reduce
acute toxicity with tangential whole-breast radiotherapy (RT) using intensity-modulated …

Purpose: To determine the intra-and interobserver variation in delineation of the target
volume of breast tumors on computed tomography (CT) scans in order to perform conformal …

Purpose: The main purpose of this work is to reduce the cardiac and lung dose by applying
conformal tangential beam irradiation of the intact left breast with and without intensity …

The purpose of this study was to investigate methods used to modulate dose distributions in
radiotherapy planning, to determine the fundamental features of these and to establish the …

Background and purpose: To develop a method of using a multileaf collimator (MLC) to
deliver intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for tangential breast fields, using an MLC to …

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a novel conformal radiotherapy technique which
is gaining increasingly widespread use. This second clinical article aims to summarize the …

Recently, energy-and intensity-modulated electron radiotherapy (MERT) has garnered a
growing interest for the treatment of superficial targets. In this work, we carried out a …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To make a comprehensive evaluation of organ-specific
out-of-field doses using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for different breast cancer irradiation …
