  1. 11. STANDARDIZED ORGAN AT RISK VOLUME FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY IN PROSTATE CANCER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO VOLUMES DEFINED BY CLINICAL PRACTICE

    University essay from

    Author : Dang Thao; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Radiation therapy; Prostate cancer; Organs at risk;

    Abstract : Background/ Purpose: In radiation therapy (RT), the radiation dose calculated in tumours and normal tissue depends on how the volumes are defined. It is difficult to standardize how tumour volumes should be defined because their anatomical extension can differ greatly between individuals. READ MORE

  3. 12. " Optimization of Margins and Plan Robustness for Proton Therapy of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma"

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Filip Hörberger; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Purpose/Background: Utilizing proton therapy (PT) for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) has demonstrated favorable features, particularly a reduced dose to organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with photon radiotherapy. However, there is a coherent complexity with PT including its uncertainties, such as range-uncertainties and set-up variations as protons are highly sensitive to tissue density variations within the beam-path.

  4. 13. Evaluation of the treatment planning system decimal ElectronRT and custom-made bolus for FLASH-irradiation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Mizgin Coskun; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. READ MORE

  5. 14. Impact of MR training data on the quality of synthetic CT generation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Gustav Jönsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Generative adversarial network; Machine learning; Radiotherapy; Synthetic CT; MR; CT;

    Abstract : Both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have a purpose for radiotherapy. But having two imaging sessions brings uncertainty which makes it beneficial to create synthetic CT (sCT) images from MR images. In this work a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) was designed and implemented for sCT generation. READ MORE

  6. 15. Surface Guided Helical Tomotherapy for Total Marrow Irradiation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Hedda Enocson; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Total marrow irradiation (TMI) with helical tomotherapy treatment (HT-TMI) can be used as conditioning regimen for leukemia patients prior to stem cell transplantation by radiating the skeletal tissue. To ensure adequate dose coverage a margin is applied to the clinical target volume (CTV), i.e. planning target volume (PTV) margin. READ MORE
