Why brachytherapy for head and neck?
G. Kovács et al. GEC-ESTRO ACROP recommendations for head & neck brachytherapy in squamous cell carcinomas: 1st update – Improvement by cross sectional imaging based treatment planning and stepping source technology / Radiotherapy and Oncology 122 (2017) 248–254 [https://www.thegreenjournal.com/article/S0167-8140(16)34346-8/pdf]
Rotterdam Nasopharyngeal Mold Applicator Optimal dose shaping in nasopharyngeal cavities The Rotterdam nasopharyngeal mold is manufactured from a flexible silicone material to easily shape the radiation dose in the nasopharyngeal cavity. It consists of two channels on the upper surface to optimize the dose distribution and reduce the surface dose. The mold can remain in place for a series of treatment fractions, while the treatment catheters will be replaced per fraction. This way, patient discomfort between fractions is minimized. Why the Rotterdam nasopharyngeal mold applicator?
Image data set for treatment planning is obtained through X-ray, CT or MR imaging. The image quality determines the applictor visibility for correct recontruction It also give the anatomy landscap which shows the tumor and the OaR
“我想要一个易于使用的涂抹器,不需要全面麻醉,这将与鼻咽的粘膜密切相关。我发现它在鹿特丹鼻咽涂抹器中。“
Designing the optimal dose distribution can be a time-consuming job. The latest version of Oncentra Brachy offers a series of useful tools that simplify many repetitive tasks, such as contouring and reconstruction. Oncentra Brachy buys you time to focus on what counts: creating the optimal dose distribution.
Oncentra短还能帮助你优化治疗plan accuracy, providing easy navigation to any plane that offers the most relevant information per region of interest. Template solutions for repetitive tasks, such as the new Implant Modeling tool and the popular Applicator Modeling feature, help reduce implant reconstruction time. DVH presets and the ROI Catalog Manager can help improve accuracy and reproducibility. Powerful inverse planning optimization automates volume-based planning, making the process fast and efficient.
