Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adaptive radiotherapy has been growing in prominence in recent years. It can take the form of CT-based or MR-based adaptation. . Adaptations aim to maintain dosimetry accuracy, to improve coverage for tumoural changes, and/or to reduce the dose to surrounding normal tissues.
This Special Issue aims to provide up-to-date articles on the use of adaptive radiotherapy in radiation oncology.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Optimization of CT and/or MR images for visualizing cancer, contouring and assessing treatment response;
- Image registration;
- Dose cumulation strategies;
- Treatment planning;
- CT-guided and/or MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy;
- Novel adaptation techniques.
