Intraprostatic MAXimal simultaneous boost (IMAX) and Functional Lung Imaging for Radiotherapy (FLIRT)
EF 2008-09
Résumé
IMAX aims to evaluate the efficacy of a radiotherapy dosing scheme for the treatment of prostate cancers through the use of MRI techniques. This project will involve randomizing patients to receive different dosing schemes, with the primary goal of determining the efficacy of the IMAX dosing plan.
The latter project, FLIRT, aims to implement SPECT and He MRI techniques to improve radiotherapy planning for lung cancers. By enhancing the spatial information available for radiotherapy computerized planning, doses can be escalated without increasing the morbidities associated with treatment.
