Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Pelvic Cancers: A Review of Current Evidence and Clinical Utilisation

Abstract: The meticulous selection and utilisation of image-guided radiotherapy treatment (IGRT) are essential for optimal radiotherapy treatment delivery when using highly conformal treatment techniques in pelvic radiotherapy. Pelvic IGRT has several general IGRT issues to consider (such as choice of match strategy, prioritisation between multiple treatment targets, and margin estimates) as well as issues specific to pelvic radiotherapy, in particular large interfraction organ variation. A range of interventions, inclu… Show more

“…The bladder is subject to significant day to day variation in size and shape that can result in target misses. Using Cone beam CTs (CBCT) to provide three-dimensional soft-tissue images (‘image guided radiotherapy’) obtained immediately prior to treatment allows adjustments in machine set-up or patient position to ensure optimal coverage and avoid [24] , [25] .…”

“…With improving online image quality using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), there has been a move towards image-guided radiotherapy with soft-tissue matching as standard [27]. Alongside this, ART strategies have been utilised, including scheduled replanning or a plan of the day (PotD) approach [27].…”

“…With improving online image quality using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), there has been a move towards image-guided radiotherapy with soft-tissue matching as standard [27]. Alongside this, ART strategies have been utilised, including scheduled replanning or a plan of the day (PotD) approach [27]. More recent technological developments have introduced the clinical possibility of online ART (oART) with daily replanning using magnetic resonance [28] or CBCT guidance [29].…”
