Aims: To evaluate the underdosing of the maxillary sinus at its distal end produced by air
cavity in the path of the 6 MV photon beam. Materials and Methods: A cubic solid water slab …

Purpose: To assess 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-
modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques to see whether doses to critical structures could …

Purpose: To determine the feasibility of dose escalation in radiotherapy for maxillary sinus
cancer using intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and to compare the resulting dose …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: During radiotherapy planning high density dental
materials create a major challenge in determining correct dose distribution inside patients …

Subcutaneous involvement frequently occurs in maxillary sinus carcinoma. Radical
resection does not include removal of the skin at risk. In standard postoperative wedge-pair …

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are used for verification of the delivered dose during
IMRT treatment of head and neck carcinomas. The TLDs are put into a plastic tube, which is …

Results are presented comparing Monte Carlo (MC) calculations for dynamic IMRT
treatments of tumors in the sinus region with Eclipse treatment planning system dose …

It has been shown in several studies that the build-up in photon beams behind air cavities
(such as in the head and neck) increases with energy. In this study this effect is investigated …

The homogeneous dose planning is one of the most important roles in radiation therapy.
But, it is not easy to obtain a homogeneous dose to paranasal sinus region including the …

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy and clinical importance of beam positioning during
simulation of radiat&%% tment for tumors in the maxillary sinus. Methods and Materials: Five …
