This review summarizes the beginning of radiotherapy, techniques of modern radiation
therapy with different types, toxicities induced by radiotherapy and their management. Head …

Dose painting is the prescription of a nonuniform radiation dose distribution to the target
volume based on functional or molecular images shown to indicate the local risk of relapse …

Background. Characterization of textural features (spatial distributions of image intensity
levels) has been considered as a tool for automatic tumor segmentation. The purpose of this …

Over the last few decades, significant improvements have been made in the radiotherapy
(RT) treatment of head and neck malignancies. The progressive introduction of intensity …

Introduction: Large anatomical variations can be observed during the treatment course
intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC), leading to …

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in head and neck (H&N) cancer has the
capability to generate steep dose gradients, leading to an improved therapeutic index. IMRT …

PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of adaptive intensity-modulated radiation therapy
(IMRT) using dose painting by numbers (DPBN) for head-and-neck cancer. METHODS AND …

Objective To evaluate diffusion-weighted (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for
treatment prediction during chemoradiotherapy (CRT) of head and neck squamous cell …

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the potential of functional imaging with 18F-FDG
PET, 18F-fluoromisonidazole PET, diffusion-weighted MRI, and dynamic contrast-enhanced …

The past decade has provided many technological advances in radiotherapy. The European
