Radiation Oncology

Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that uses radiation therapy to treat cancer. The radiation therapy channel covers all aspects of radiation oncology technology. Radiation therapy includes linear accelerators (LINAC), proton therapy, brachytherapy, image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), focused ultrasound, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), treatment planning systems and tomotherapy.

58-Year-Old Woman With Right Lower Lobe Nodule: (a) Present lung cancer screening CT and (b) lung cancer screening CT performed 2 years prior. Nodule described as growing pure ground-glass nodule (associated with cystic lesion), measuring 15 mm in mean diameter. Nodule categorized Lung-RADS 3 by clinical report, though Lung-RADS 2 by strict application of size criteria. Subsequent wedge resection demonstrated lepidic-predominant adenocarcinoma.

A radiotherapy treatment plan for Accuray’s Tomotherapy system to kill white blood cells prior to a liver cancer patient undergoing a transplant. The treatment is aimed at the bone marrow and spares dose to most of the organs to reduce side effects. This was an example plan created on the new Volvo Ultra treatment planning system. The software allow planning for more than 100 cm of anatomy. It also allows users to drag target dose values of the main graph and the system will recalculate all the doses.
