The effect of altering these limitations on the number of monitor units and radiation dose to the organs at risk (OAR) were analysed. Methods: IMRT plans for different LVs from 1.0 cm/sec to 10.0 cm/sec and different DRs from 100 MU/min to 600 MU/min for two patients with prostate cancer and two patients with squamous cell cancer of the scalp (SCCscalp) were calculated using the same \"optimal fluence map\". For each field the number of monitor units, the dose volume histograms and the differences in the \"actual fluence maps\" of the fields were analysed. Results: With increase of the DR and decrease of the LV the number of monitor units increased and consequentially the radiation dose given to the OAR. In particular the serial OARs of patients with SCCscalp, which are located outside the end position of the leafs and inside the open field, received an additional dose of a higher DR and lower LV is used. Conclusion: For best protection of organs at risk, a low DR and high LV should be applied. But the consequence of a low DR is both a long treatment time and also that a LV of higher than 3.0 cm/sec is mechanically not applicable. Our recommendation for an optimisation of the discussed parameters is a leaf velocity of 2.5 cm/sec and a dose rate of 300-400 MU/min (prostate cancer) and 100-200 MU/min (SCCscalp) for best protection of organs at risk, short treatment time and number of monitor units."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1748-717X-3-31"],["dc.identifier.isi","000260418200001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18811954"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/4321"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53311"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Impact of different leaf velocities and dose rates on the number of monitor units and the dose-volume-histograms using intensity modulated radiotherapy with sliding-window technique"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The influence of different dose rates (DRs) and maximum leaf speeds (LS) on the calculated and measured dose and dose profiles were analyzed.

Taking the measured dose in the region of desired intensity 1.0 and other technical limitations (like beam hold interrupts or spikes in the cross and longitudinal profiles) into consideration, the application of an LS of 2.5 cm/s and a DR of 500 MU/min is recommended in order to minimize radiation dose applied to organs at risk, which are located in regions of low intensity, like, for example, the spinal cord."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00066-009-2028-2"],["dc.identifier.isi","000272525100007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20013092"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/55861"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Urban & Vogel"],["dc.relation.issn","0179-7158"],["dc.title","Overestimation of Low-Dose Radiation in Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy with Sliding-Window Technique"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The focus of this work is on the analysis of observer-related reasons while controlling for other variables. Methods: In three consecutive patients, eighteen physicians from fourteen different departments delineated the GTV and M in CT-slices using a detailed instruction for target delineation. Differences in the volumes, the delineated anatomic lymph node compartments and differences in every delineated pixel of the contoured volumes in the CT-slices (pixel-by-pixel-analysis) were evaluated for different groups: ten radiation oncologists from ten departments (ROs), four haematologic oncologists and chest physicians from four departments (HOs) and five radiation oncologists from one department (RO1D). Results: Agreement (overlap >= 70% of the contoured pixels) for the GTV and PTV delineation was found in 16.3% and 23.7% (ROs), 30.4% and 38.6% (HOs) and 32.8% and 35.9% (RO1D), respectively. Conclusion: A large interobserver variability in the PTV and much more in the GTV delineation were observed in spite of a detailed instruction for delineation. The variability was smallest for group RO1D where due to repeated discussions and uniform teaching a better agreement was achieved. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

It is well known that whenever treatment is intensified, risk of therapy-related toxicity rises. An irradiation with protons could possibly present an approach to solve this dilemma by lowering the exposure to the organs-at-risk (OAR) without compromising tumor response. Material and methods: Twenty five consecutive patients were treated from 04/2009 to 5/2010. For all patients, four different treatment plans including protons, RapidArc, IMRT and 3D-conformal-technique were retrospectively calculated and analyzed according to dosimetric aspects. Results: Detailed DVH-analyses revealed that protons clearly reduced the dose to the OAR and entire normal tissue when compared to other techniques. Furthermore, the conformity index was significantly better and target volumes were covered consistent with the ICRU guidelines. Conclusions: Planning results suggest that treatment with protons can improve the therapeutic tolerance for the irradiation of rectal cancer, particularly for patients scheduled for an irradiation with an intensified chemotherapy regimen and identified to be at high risk for acute therapy-related toxicity. However, clinical experiences and long-term observation are needed to assess tumor response and related toxicity rates. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

We measured the effects of an air-filled rectal balloon on the dose at the rectal wall and compared these results with the applied dose distribution of the treatment planning system. Materials and methods: During 10 fractions with 2.0 Gy per fraction, the accumulated doses were measured in 3 patients. The results of the ESR measurements were compared to the applied doses. Results: It was possible to insert the device without clinical complications and without additional rectal discomfort for the patients. The measurements of the dose accumulated at the anterior and the posterior rectal wall agreed with the applied dose within a mean deviation of 1.5% (overestimation of the dose) and 3.5% (underestimation of the dose), respectively.
