    Summary

    Echotomography, or ultrasound, precisely defines tumor borders and organ positions for radiation therapy planning. This method offers superior accuracy over traditional techniques for contouring soft tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology
    • Radiotherapy

    Context:

    • Utilizing echotomography for topometric preparation in cancer patients undergoing irradiation.
    • Examination of 600 cancer patients at the All-Union Cancer Research Center.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of echotomography in defining tumor boundaries and organ positioning for radiotherapy.
    • To explore the application of ultrasound in three-dimensional radiation planning.

    Summary:

    • Echotomography accurately defines tumor borders and the relative positions of adjacent organs in the peritoneal and retroperitoneal spaces.
    • Ultrasound imaging provides contour accuracy of 5 +/- 1 mm in soft phantoms, surpassing lead band methods (10 +/- 7 mm).
    • The method allows contour acquisition in any plane, complementing X-ray methods for osseous structure visualization.

    Impact:

    • Enhances precision in radiotherapy planning by improving target volume definition.
    • Offers a more accurate method for soft tissue contouring compared to conventional techniques.
    • Facilitates advanced three-dimensional radiation planning, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
