Variations in bladder position, shape and volume cause uncertainties in the doses delivered
to this organ during a course of radiotherapy for pelvic tumors. The purpose of this study was …

Background. Methods to accurately accumulate doses in radiotherapy (RT) are important for
tumour and normal tissues being influenced by geometric uncertainties. The purpose of this …

Background and purpose In prostate IMRT, the objectives were to quantify, for the bladder
and the rectum:(i) the dose difference (DD) between the planned dose (PD) and the …

Purpose To develop a method for dose reconstruction by incorporating the interplay effect
between aperture modulation and target motion, and to assess the dosimetric impact of real …

PURPOSE: To quantify the effect of delineation method on bladder DVH, observer variability
(OV) and contouring time for prostate IMRT plans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Planning …

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
multicriteria optimization (MCO) algorithm clinically available in the RayStation treatment …

Purpose Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) has considerable potential in treatment of bladder
cancer due to large inter-fractional changes in shape and size of the target. The aim of this …

The purpose of this study was to quantify the impact of inter-fraction modifications of bladder
during RT of prostate cancer on bladder dose surface maps (DSM). Eighteen patients …

Background and purpose. Deformable image registration (DIR) is a key component of image-
guided and adaptive strategies in radiotherapy. DIR based on image intensities alone is …

Inter-fraction organ variations cause deviations between planned and delivered doses in
patients receiving radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This study compared planned (DP) vs …
