1 Οκτ 2023 · We developed a checklist to help navigate the radiation simulation and setup process. We distilled the tasks to be performed into an easily memorizable acronym P-P-I-I-I-T (Patient Prescription, Patient Position, Immobilization, Imaging, Image Guided Radiotherapy, and Treatment Technique).
In radiotherapy, radiation treatment planning (RTP) is the process in which a team consisting of radiation oncologists, radiation therapist, medical physicists and medical dosimetrists plan the appropriate external beam radiotherapy or internal brachytherapy treatment technique for a patient with cancer.
21 Ιουν 2021 · Improvements in diagnostic imaging, treatment planning, and treatment delivery have enabled more accurate and precise treatment of diseased tissue and avoidance of healthy tissues. This has expanded the so-called therapeutic window, the dose range in which tumours can be effectively treated and side-effects can be minimised.
3 Μαρ 2022 · A high-quality treatment plan aims to best achieve the clinical prescription, balancing high target dose to maximise tumour control against sufficiently low organ-at-risk dose for acceptably low toxicity.
The radiotherapy team plans your external beam radiotherapy before you start treatment. This means working out the dose of radiotherapy you need and exactly where you need it. Your planning appointment takes from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
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.
Radiation therapy treatment planning has made tremendous strides over the last two decades. With the application of modern imaging modalities, faster computers, advanced graphics techniques, and new calculational algorithms, treatment planning is ready to progress to new levels of sophistication.
