Aim- To compare the gross tumor volume **(GTV)** and organ at risk **(OAR)** identified on CT to that obtained from fusion of PET and CT images i.e. hybrid PET-CT in IMRT planning for head and neck cancer.
Material and Methods - Twenty five patients with primary carcinoma of the oropharynx and hypopharynx were included in this study after thorough history, physical examination, laboratory,...

Introduction: The linear accelerator based radiosurgery is initially started with invasive frame, like Lakshell frame and BRW frame. However in recent times improvement of setup imaging and other accessories like six dimensional motion enabled couch empower the community to move towards a frameless radiosurgery. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) deserves...

Poster
In proton therapy, a constant relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 is currently recommended and used in clinics. This is despite the fact that this quantity varies (for example with the depth of the proton beam) in a medium, which also causes a change in the biological beam range. Various authors have noted that it is worth considering these variations in treatment planning,...
