Helical tomotherapy (HT) combines a rotating intensity modulated fan beam with integrated CT imaging for high precision radiotherapy. HT plans for 12 patients with small brain tumours were compared with five other radiotherapy techniques. Proton techniques gave overall the best results, while HT was shown to produce better target dose uniformity (average SD=1.3%) and kept irradiation of organs at risk as good as other photon methods.
螺旋断层放疗(HT)将旋转调强扇形束与集成CT成像相结合,用于高精度放射治疗。对12例小脑肿瘤患者的HT计划与其他五种放射治疗技术进行了比较。质子技术总体上给出了最佳结果,而HT显示出能产生更好的靶区剂量均匀性(平均标准差=1.3%),并且对危及器官的照射与其他光子方法一样好。
