1. 1. Monte Carlo evaluation of static and dynamic 6FFF treatments - Evaluation of dose distributions calculated with AAA, Acuros XB, and Collapsed Cone (RayStation and DoseCheck)

   University essay from

   Author : Alma Blombäck; [2023-02-23]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Monte Carlo; 6FFF; AAA; Acuros XB; DoseCheck; RayStation; DVH evaluation; flattening filter free;

   Abstract : There are several benefits to removing the standard flattening filter and using so-called flattening filter free (FFF) treatments in external radiation therapy with photons. The main advantage is the possibility of significantly shortening the treatment time, de spite this FFF is not widely used yet. READ MORE

3. 2. Development of a new SBRT dose planning strategy for thoracic tumours in RayStation

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

   Author : Olof Westman; [2023]
   Keywords : radiotherapy sbrt lung robust; radioterapi;

   Abstract : Umeå University Hospital has acquired a new treatment planning system, RayStation, for radiotherapy. It has a different set of dose calculation algorithms that require new planning strategies for stereotactic lung cancer treatments. READ MORE

4. 3. Multi-ion radiotherapy treatment planning

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Gustav Lidberg; [2023]
   Keywords : multi-ion radiotherapy; heavy-ion radiotherapy; carbon-ion radiotherapy; treatment planning; LET optimization;

   Abstract : Multi-ion radiotherapy has been suggested as a new way to treat cancer, combining the radiological advantages of lighter and heavier ions in a single treatment to improve plan robustness and increase LETd in the target. To succeed, multi-ion radiotherapy requires a treatment planning system capable of computing dose for and optimising multi-ion treatment plans. READ MORE

5. 4. Inclusion of more sources in a commercial brachytherapy Monte Carlo

   University essay from

   Author : Philip Wiman; Emil Forsberg; Robin Vestling; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Brachytherapy is a cancer treatment method where a solid radioactive source is placed inside the body in order to target cancer cells with a high dose of radiation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The most common method for treatment planning in brachytherapy is the TG43 formalism where the whole patient geometry is treated as water. READ MORE

6. 5. Preparations for photon external beam radiotherapy treatment planning of small animals

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Joanie Diha Guei; [2022]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Introduction:The XenX is a small animal irradiation system that acquires high-resolution cone-beam tomography (CBCT) images of small animals and treats small animals with higher precision than medical linear accelerators. MuriSlice is a software for CBCT image reconstruction. READ MORE
