CALIBRATION OF HYPOXIC REGION FOCUSED RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT PLANS

摘要

The present invention features calibration methods for radiotherapy treatment plans. An image-guided radiotherapy system for tumor treatment featuring a hypoxic-region-focused (HRF) radiation dose is calibrated using a phantom. The treatment plans may also feature a boosted dose to the resistance region of the tumor. The HRF radiation dose may be greater than 120% of a predetermined prescribed radiation dose for the tumor.
