Key Details About Poster Total Body Irradiation Using A Linac Medical Linear Accelerator
Background/Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-based techniques and extended CBCT image guidance for total body irradiation (TBI) treatment using a conventional linear accelerator . Methods Patients eligible for TBI between November 2016 and December 2024 were included in the analysis. Patients received a total ...
The use of an inverse optimization algorithm improves the dose homogeneity in comparison to conventional forward planned techniques. The large target size hampers the use of modern methods for linear accelerator of radiation oncology.

In conclusion, after appropriate optimization of the treatment times, VMAT using linear accelerator radiosurgery technology can be used both as a backup in addition to HT and in clinical routines ...
Over the last two decades, multiple centers have developed and implemented intensity-modulated total body irradiation (IM-TBI), total marrow irradiation (IM-TMI) and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (IM-TMLI) using modern linear accelerators ( linac ) and image-guidance [1-18]. Common to these techniques are the treatment of the patient in the supine position at the machine isocenter ...

Background/Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-based techniques and extended CBCT image guidance for total body irradiation (TBI) treatment using a conventional linear accelerator .
With the introduction of advanced irradiation techniques such as Helical TomoTherapy (HT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), dose-optimized total body irradiation could be realized with good target volume coverage and adequate dose reduction in organs at risk (OAR). This requires a well-coordinated team and suitable equipment ...

Abstract Background and purpose Total body irradiation (TBI) is a treatment used in the conditioning of patients prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We developed an extended-distance TBI technique using a conventional linac with multi-leaf collimator to deliver a homogeneous dose, and spare critical organs.
Radiation therapy (RT) in the form of total-body irradiation (TBI) technique continues to be an important part of conditioning regimens in patients undergoing bone-marrow transplantation (BMT) in hematological malignancies.TBI implemented using megavoltage photon beams is a conditioning modality used in treating several diseases, including multiple myeloma, leukemias, lymphomas, and some solid ...
