However, very little has been published or done in the area of biologically optimized treatment planning. Development of Biologically Optimized Radiation Therapy aims to fill and close an important gap in the literature with a well-focused and in-depth content.The book covers the biological, physical and clinical background of advanced biologically based radiation therapy optimization with focus on modern radiation therapy modalities such as electron, photon and light ion therapy. Highly recommended for its strong interdisciplinary profile, the book contains a meritorious compilation of previously unpublished materials in many areas of modern science. Undergraduates, researchers and practitioners such as oncologists, medical physicists and radiation biologists alike should find the book immensely informative and comprehensively thorough.

This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mathematical models in this book are concerned with a variety of approaches to the manner in which the clinical radiologic treatment of human neoplasms can be improved. These improvements comprise ways of delivering radiation to the malignan cies so as to create considerable damage to tumor cells while sparing neighboring normal tissues. There is no unique way of dealing with these improvements. Accord ingly, in this book a number of different presentations are given. Each presentation has as its goal some aspect of the improvement, or optimization, of radiotherapy. This book is a collection of current ideas concerned with the optimization of human cancer radiotherapy. It is hoped that readers will build on this collection and develop superior approaches for the understanding of the ways to improve therapy. The author owes a special debt of thanks to Kathy Prindle who breezed through the typing of this book with considerable dexterity.

Download or read book Radiation in Medicine and Biology written by Pandit B. Vidyasagar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the conventional and emerging applications of radiations, which include radio waves and ultraviolet and gamma radiations. It discusses new techniques in radiation therapy and the effects of ionizing radiations on biological systems. The applications of radiations in the synthesis and use of nanoparticles along with the effects of hypergravity indicate a new trend. The book offers a concise account of the latest studies carried out so far and shows the new initiatives to be undertaken in the field of medicine and biology. It covers the medical use of radiations, such as ferrous sulfate–benzoic acid–xylenol orange dosimetry, Co-60 tomotherapy, radio-electro-chemotherapy, and fractional radiotherapy, and radiobiological effects, such as the effects of cell phone radiations on human health parameters and the combined effects of radiations and hypergravity on plants.
Download or read book The Potential Increase in Biological Effectiveness from Temporal Optimization for Radiation Therapy written by Jonathan D. Schmitt and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stereotactic Radiation Body Therapy (SBRT) is a radiotherapy technique which uses high dose fractions with multiple co-planar and non-coplanar beams. Due to the large fractional doses, treatments are typically protracted and the number of fields are greater than a typical IMRT treatment. We demonstrate, using theoretical models, that temporal optimization methods could be applied to SBRT treatments to enhance biological effectiveness. Using the Lea-Catcheside protraction factor (G-value), we cycled through every field order permutation, of actual SBRT patient's fractions, and determine an optimal and sub-optimal field. For comparison, an actual field order shot in the clinic was included. To quantify the difference in survival fraction we utilized the Lethal Potential Lethal (LPL) model. To acquire the parameters needed by the LPL model we fit the data to three non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC): H460, H660, and H157. Our results verified those of studies by previous authors, that maximization of cell kill is achieved by orienting the fields in a triangle pattern, where the fields with greatest dose are positioned in the center. Minimization of cell kill occurred when fields with smallest dose were positioned centrally and higher dose fields were placed in the beginning and end of the fraction. This orientation resembled a V shape. The survival fraction ratios calculated using the LPL showed that regardless of the cell type the triangle shape had lowed survival fractions compared to both the clinical example (C) and the V arrangement. Using theoretical models we have shown that rearrangement of the field orders for a SBRT treatment could optimize cell kill and potentially affect overall treatment outcome.
