- The document discusses clinical treatment planning in external photon beam radiotherapy. It covers topics such as volume definition, dose specification, patient data acquisition and simulation, clinical considerations for photon beams, treatment plan evaluation, and monitor unit calculations.
- Treatment plan evaluation is an important step to study the dose distribution and calculations and ensure the treatment plan dose matches the clinical target. This is done using computer or manual methods. The medical physicist and radiation oncologist must approve the treatment plan before radiotherapy.
- Dose distribution can be evaluated at a few significant points within the target volume, along dose contours in 2D planes of the body or CT slices, or in the entire 3D volume receiving radiation for the region.
The document discusses clinical treatment planning in external photon beam radiotherapy. It covers topics such as volume definition, dose specification, patient data acquisition and simulation, clinical considerations for photon beams including isodose curves, wedge filters, bolus, compensating filters, corrections for contour and tissue inhomogeneities, and beam combinations and clinical applications. The section on clinical considerations for photon beams specifically addresses isodose curves, which are lines connecting points of equal dose distribution, and the use of wedge filters.
This document discusses brachytherapy and its advantages over external beam radiation therapy. Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources inside or next to the area requiring treatment. It allows for a high radiation dose to be delivered to the target area while reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Key factors that influence brachytherapy outcomes include the source modeling used, the dose calculation algorithm, source activity determination methods, and prescribed dose and dose rates to the targets. Common brachytherapy sources emit photons, electrons, or neutrons. Successful brachytherapy requires using an appropriate dosimetric model.

This document discusses fiber optic probes used in medicine, specifically endoscopy. It provides an overview of endoscopy, describing both rigid and flexible endoscopes. Rigid endoscopes use rod lenses and fiber optics to illuminate and provide a view inside the body. Flexible endoscopes can bend and are used to examine internal organs. Major companies that produce endoscopes are also mentioned, as well as typical costs. The document concludes by outlining some areas of ongoing endoscopy research.
This document discusses digital subtraction angiography (DSA), including its history, equipment, and applications. DSA involves acquiring digital fluoroscopic images before and after injecting contrast material, and using computer subtraction to remove bone structures and leave an image of blood vessels. It originated in the 1970s and allows for real-time angiography with improved vessel contrast compared to conventional techniques. Key components of DSA systems include an x-ray unit, image intensifier, computer, and software for image processing functions like subtraction, enhancement, and roadmapping.
Importance of Planning CT Simulation(3D) in Radiothrapy/Radiation oncology.Saikat Roy
CT simulation is an important part of the radiotherapy planning process. It allows for 3D visualization of patient anatomy using CT scans. Various immobilization devices are used to accurately position the patient for treatment planning and delivery. The summary describes the key steps in CT simulation including patient setup using immobilization devices, obtaining CT images with appropriate parameters, and noting important details in the patient record for their specific diagnosis and treatment area. CT simulation provides critical 3D information to optimize radiotherapy treatment planning.
Cyberknife is a robotic radiosurgery system that can treat tumors anywhere in the body with sub-millimeter accuracy. It contains a linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm that moves in six degrees of freedom to accurately deliver radiation from numerous angles. Treatment is tracked in real-time using x-ray images and the robotic arm moves to correct for any tumor motion during treatment. Cyberknife allows for both single and multiple fraction stereotactic radiosurgery treatments without the need for invasive head frames.
Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) allows for unprecedented simultaneous ultra-high speed and ultra-high resolution ophthalmic imaging. SD-OCT acquires images 73 times faster than current commercial instruments, with 1000 A-scans acquired in 34.1 milliseconds, allowing for video rate imaging of 29 frames per second with 6 micrometer axial resolution. Alternatively, 500 A-scans can be acquired in 34 milliseconds at 3.5 micrometer axial resolution, a three-fold improvement over current instruments. SD-OCT also enables imaging of retinal blood flow and 3D reconstruction of ocular structures within safe exposure levels.

DOSIMETRY ANALYSIS OF 3D CRT AND IMRT TECHNIQUES ON SMALL AND LARGE BREAST C...AM Publications
The aim of the study was to compare dosimetric parameters of planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (lungs) between 3D-conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in breast cancer, also to find correlation between volume and these parameters. A total of 60 patients with left/right breast cancer received radiotherapy, 30 by 3D CRT and 30 by IMRT, with a dose of 50 Gy in 25 sessions. Plans were compared according to dose-volume histogram (DVH) analysis in terms of PTV homogeneity (HI) and conformity (CI) indices as well as lungs dose, also integral dose (ID). IMRT had the higher CI than 3D CRT, and the lower HI than 3D CRT. But IMRT had the higher ID than 3D CRT. So, IMRT had the better HI and CI than 3D CRT in breast cancer treatment. In other hand, there are negatif correlation between volume and CI in 3D CRT. But no signifficant correlation in IMRT. And there are no correlations between volume and HI in both techniques. Also there are signifficant positif correlation between volume and ID in both techniques.

It then discusses classification of work areas, including monitoring areas and supervised areas. Examples of work area classification are also mentioned. Key aspects of radiation protection covered include identifying radiation sources and their nature, as well as the basic principles of radiation protection good practice - limiting side effects, reducing complications, and decreasing accident likelihood. Responsibilities under the Basic Safety Standards are also outlined.
The document discusses the history and basics of radiotherapy and radiation protection. It describes some key events and discoveries, including Wilhelm Röntgen's discovery of X-rays in 1895, the discovery of radioactivity in the late 1890s, and the early uses of radiation to treat cancers in the late 1890s. It also notes that accurate measurement of absorbed radiation dose is important for treatment success and that dosimetric systems must be properly calibrated and traceable to national and international standards.
This document discusses the biological effects of radiation exposure. It describes internal and external radiation exposure, which can occur through inhalation, ingestion, intravenous injection, or contamination on the skin. The type of damage caused by radiation exposure depends on the dose received, the radiation type (alpha, beta, gamma etc.), the sensitivity of different tissues or organs, and other factors. Radiation damage is measured by assessing harmful health effects in individuals or their offspring resulting from low dose radiation exposures over time.
This document discusses radiation accidents that can occur in brachytherapy. It notes that over 500,000 brachytherapy procedures are performed annually using high-dose-rate brachytherapy. Any error in loading the radioactive source could result in an overdose. More than 500 high-dose-rate brachytherapy accidents have been documented in previous years. Human error and equipment malfunctions are causes of radiation accidents in brachytherapy.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Methods used for adding the dose at the ICRU point from
multiple fields:
1. The most simple method (usually not used):
Each field contributes to the total prescribed dose at the ICRU point
using an equal number of MU (or equal treatment time).
2. Each field contributes to the total prescribed dose at
the ICRU point with different weights.
Prescribed weights for individual fields may refer to:
– the ICRU point IP (used for the isocentric techniques)
– the point of maximum dose Dmax of each field
(used for fixed SSD techniques).

Step 1: Calibrated output of the machine
For kilovoltage X ray generators and teletherapy units
the output is usually given in Gy/min.
For clinical accelerators the output is given in Gy/MU.
For superficial and orthovoltage beams and
occasionally for beams produced by teletherapy
radionuclide machines, the basic beam output may
also be stated as the air kerma rate in air (Gy/min) at a

Relative dose factor RDF describes the field size dependence:
For a given beam energy E (h), the dose at the calibration
point P (at depth zref) depends on the field size A.
The ratio of dose to that of reference field size Aref is called
the output factor, also known as total scatter factor.
The IAEA Handbook is using the expression: relative dose

Step 4: Determine the ratio between the prescribed dose and
the sum dose at IP obtained in step 3.
• Prescribed dose = 200 cGy
• Calculated dose = 175.44 cGy

• To calculate the linac monitor chamber setting in MUs, it is first
necessary to calculate the doses from each beam at the isocentre at
a depth of maximum dose D(Qmax), where SSD = SAD –zmax. The
TMR is obtained for each field and used in the calculation as
follows:

Important: Dose distributions can be normalized in different ways:
Normalized to maximum
Normalized such that
100% = 100cGy

• As a consequence, values of the dose distribution larger
than 100 % will be obtained if the prescription point is not
located at the point of maximum dose.
• If the isodose values generated by the TPS itself are used
for the monitor calculations, the method of normalization
used in the TPS must be taken into account.

• Modern treatment planning systems give the user the ability to
take into account several dosimetric parameters in the dose
distribution affecting the beam output.
• For example, the isodose values in a dose distribution may
already include:
– Inverse square law factors for extended distance treatments.
– Effects on dose outputs from blocks in the field.
– Tray and wedge factors.
• If the isodose values generated by the TPS are used for the
monitor calculations, it is of utmost importance to know
exactly what the isodose lines mean.

• Treatment time calculations for orthovoltage
units and cobalt-60 teletherapy units are carried
out similarly to the above examples except that
machine outputs are stated in cGy/min and the
treatment timer setting in minutes replaces the
monitor setting in MU.
• Shutter correction should be included in the time
set.
