Temporally feathered intensity modulated radiation therapy: a planning technique to reduce normal tissue toxicity

2017-09-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has allowed optimization of three-dimensional spatial radiation dose distributions permitting target coverage while reducing normal tissue toxicity. However, radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity is a major contributor to patients’ quality of life and often a dose-limiting factor in the definitive treatment of cancer with radiation therapy. We propo...
