  1. 1. Clinical Assessment of Deep Learning-Based Uncertainty Maps in Lung Cancer Segmentation

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Författare :Federica Carmen Maruccio; [2023]
    Nyckelord :3D U-Net; Contouring; Clinical validation; Deep learning; Lung cancer; Monte Carlo dropout; Probability map; Reliability diagram; Segmentation; Uncertainty map;

    Sammanfattning : Prior to radiation therapy planning, tumours and organs at risk need to be delineated. In recent years, deep learning models have opened the possibility of automating the contouring process, speeding up the procedures and helping clinicians. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Uncertainties in the use of synthetic CT (sCT) for daily online adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Författare :Johansson Vivika; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Background and purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has been clinically implemented for several anatomical sites worldwide. However, random and abrupt anatomical changes with large density alterations can occur in lung patients, leading to uncertainties with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) and dose calculation.

  4. 3. STANDARDIZED ORGAN AT RISK VOLUME FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY IN PROSTATE CANCER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO VOLUMES DEFINED BY CLINICAL PRACTICE

    Master-uppsats,

    Författare :Dang Thao; [2022-01-13]
    Nyckelord :Medical physics; Radiation therapy; Prostate cancer; Organs at risk;

    Sammanfattning : Background/ Purpose: In radiation therapy (RT), the radiation dose calculated in tumours and normal tissue depends on how the volumes are defined. It is difficult to standardize how tumour volumes should be defined because their anatomical extension can differ greatly between individuals. LÄS MER

  5. 4. " Optimization of Margins and Plan Robustness for Proton Therapy of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma"

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Författare :Filip Hörberger; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Purpose/Background: Utilizing proton therapy (PT) for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) has demonstrated favorable features, particularly a reduced dose to organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with photon radiotherapy. However, there is a coherent complexity with PT including its uncertainties, such as range-uncertainties and set-up variations as protons are highly sensitive to tissue density variations within the beam-path.

  7. 5. Surface Guided Helical Tomotherapy for Total Marrow Irradiation

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Författare :Hedda Enocson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Total marrow irradiation (TMI) with helical tomotherapy treatment (HT-TMI) can be used as conditioning regimen for leukemia patients prior to stem cell transplantation by radiating the skeletal tissue. To ensure adequate dose coverage a margin is applied to the clinical target volume (CTV), i.e. planning target volume (PTV) margin. LÄS MER
