Image Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy Based on Elastic Image Registration for Improved Tumor Coverage and Reduction of Side Effect in Normal Tissues
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Follow-up CT scans during week 3 and week 5 of treatment for Head and Neck Neoplasms. Completed, enrolled 18 participants.
Detailed Summary
Aim of this study is the clinical evaluation of an image-guided adaptive radiotherapy concept. This involves the adaption of the radiotherapy treatment plan according to changes in tissues and variations in patients position and posture during a radiotherapy treatment course, based on repeat CT scans. It is investigated, if dosimetric improvements can be achieved using this approach and if the method using the software-package "ReDeform" can be implemented in clinical Routine.
