What is 1012 Quantification of variation in organ position and volume during conformal radiotherapy of the prostate about?
A previous study of internal organ motion (1). in which a group of twelve patients with prostate cancer received CT scans on different days, showed variations in the position of the prostate and seminal vesicles, with larger variations observed in the latter. In addition, prostate and seminal vesicle positions were observed to be significantly correlated with changes in bladder volume. For most of the patients in the study the amount of bladder tilling prior to scanning was not controlled, and large variations in bladder volume were observed for some patients. In light of these results, a second study in a larger group of patients has been undertaken, to examine the variability in the position of the prostate and nearby organs when the amount of bladder filling is controlled.
