4 Clinical implementation of a dedicated brain treatment planning optimizer for stereotactic treatments: A new treatment paradigm Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Evaluation of a commercial automatic treatment planning system for liver stereotactic body radiation therapy treatments Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: Automated treatment planning is a new frontier in radiotherapy. The Auto-Planning module of the Pinnacle 3 treatment planning system (TPS) was evaluated for liver stereotactic body radiation therapy treatments. Methods: Ten cases were included in the study. Six plans were generated for each case by four medical physics experts. The first two planned with Pinnacle TPS, both with manual module (MP) and Auto-Planning one (AP). The other ...
Radiotherapy Treatment plannINg study Guidelines (RATING): A framework for setting up and reporting on scientific treatment planning studies KU Leuven
Radiotherapy treatment planning studies contribute significantly to advances and improvements in radiation treatment of cancer patients. They are a pivotal step to support and facilitate the introduction of novel techniques into clinical practice, or as a first step before clinical trials can be carried out. There have been numerous examples published in the literature that demonstrated the feasibility of such techniques as IMRT, VMAT, IMPT, or ...
Helical tomotherapy for SIB and hypo-fractionated treatments in lung carcinomas: a 4D Monte Carlo treatment planning study KU Leuven
To evaluate the impact of intra-fraction motion induced by regular breathing on treatment quality for helical tomotherapy treatments.
New prospects in diagnosis and treatment planning of orbital diseases : from imaging analysis to patient-specific treatement Ghent University
Variation of treatment planning parameters (D90 HR-CTV, D 2cc for OAR) for cervical cancer tandem ring brachytherapy in a multicentre setting: comparison of standard planning and 3D image guided optimisation based on a joint protocol for dose-volume const KU Leuven
To perform a qualitative and quantitative comparison of different treatment planning methods used in different centres for MRI-based brachytherapy (BT) of cervical cancer.
Evaluation of a dedicated brain metastases treatment planning optimization for radiosurgery: a new treatment paradigm? University of Antwerp Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of a novel dedicated treatment planning solution, to automatically target multiple brain metastases with a single isocenter and multiple inversely-optimized dynamic conformal arcs (DCA), and to benchmark it against the well-established multiple isocenter DCA (MIDCA) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) approaches. Material and Methods: Ten previously treated patients were randomly selected, each ...
Three-dimensional treatment planning and treatment protocol in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and orthognathic surgery: A case report KU Leuven
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas encountered in paediatric patients. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), a variant of RMS, is observed in more than 70% of the cases and predominantly arises from head and neck region and genitourinary tract of children and young adults. Treatment is dependent on the size, location and extent of the tumor. This case report describes a 10 years old patient who received chemo- and ...
