[ 15 , 16 ], the matrix size for projections was collapsed from 256 × 180 (bin size 2.54 × 2.54 mm 2 ) to 128 × 90 (bin size 5.08 × 5.08 mm 2 ). fig. 2 sample noisy projections for one xcat phantom at four imaging time points after 177 lu psma ...
An additional theoretical advantage of APBI is a decreased dose to normal tissue. With a smaller target volume, it may be expected that adjacent organs such as the heart and lungs will receive less radiation. Radiation-induced lung injury after treatment for breast cancer, such as pneumonitis, l...
Purpose To compare the treatment plans for accelerated partial breast irradiation calculated by the new commercially available collapsed cone convolution (CCC) and current standard TG-43–based algorithms for 50 patients treated at our institution with either a Strut-Adjusted Volume Implant (SAVI) or...
Dosimetric Comparison Between a Commercial Collapsed Cone Algorithm and the TG-43 Method for Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation BrachytherapyPurpose: An unresolved question in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy(SBRT)treatment planning is whether a free breathing computed tomography(CT)image set, an ...
