The emerging utilisation of conformal radiotherapy (RT) planning requires sophisticated
imaging modalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has introduced several added …

In this critical review of the current practice of patient dose verification, we first demonstrate
that a high accuracy (about 1–2%, 1 SD) can be obtained. Accurate in vivo dosimetry is …

Purpose: Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) is a technique designed
to deliver prescribed radiation doses to localized tumors with high precision, while effectively …

Purpose: To compare acute and late toxicities of high-dose radiation for prostate cancer
delivered by either conventional three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) or …

Purpose: The dose of radiation that locally controls human tumors treated electively or for
gross disease isy well defined. These doses can be useful in understanding the dose …

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 …

Purpose: We describe the experimental demonstration of the delivery of a three-dimensional
conformal radiotherapy dose distribution using in-field modulation of nine fixed-gantry fields …

Purpose: Advances in technology allow the creation of complex treatment plans with tightly
conforming doses. However, variations in positioning of the organ/patient with respect to …

Purpose: To investigate the importance to outcome of treatment, for squamous cell
carcinomas of the tonsillar fossa, of dose per fraction, overall treatment duration, and total …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the changes in tumour proliferation (using FLT), metabolism
(using FDG), and hypoxia (using F-miso) during curative (chemo-) radiotherapy (RT) in …
