Guided imagery (also known as guided affective imagery, or katathym-imaginative psychotherapy) is a mind-body intervention by which a trained practitioner or teacher helps a participant or patient to evoke and generate mental images [1] that simulate or recreate the sensory perception [2] [3] of sights, [4] [5] sounds, [6] tastes, [7] smells, [8] movements, [9] and images associated with touch ...
Imagery Rescripting is an experiential therapeutic technique that uses imagery and imagination to intervene in traumatic memories. [1] The process is guided by a therapist who works with the client to define ways to work with particular traumatic memories, images, or nightmares.
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is the process of frequent imaging, during a course of radiation treatment, used to direct the treatment, position the patient, and compare to the pre-therapy imaging from the treatment plan. [1]
Surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) (sometimes referred to as Surface-image Guided Radiation Therapy) is the process of using 3D imaging to position and track movement of radiation therapy patients during treatment.
A total of 27 of 357 participants (7.6%) had cancer in at least one pegulicianine-guided shave. [3] The study also assessed the image-level sensitivity (ability to designate an imaged region with disease as positive) and specificity (ability to designate an imaged region without disease as negative) for detection of cancer in the lumpectomy ...
Doctor reviewing a radiation treatment plan. In radiotherapy, radiation treatment planning (RTP) is the process in which a team consisting of radiation oncologists, radiation therapist, medical physicists and medical dosimetrists plan the appropriate external beam radiotherapy or internal brachytherapy treatment technique for a patient with cancer.
These techniques are known as Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) [32] [33] and Ultrasound guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (USgFUS) respectively. [1] [34] MRgFUS is a 3D imaging technique which features high soft tissue contrast and provides information about temperature, thus allowing to monitor ablation.
Jeffrey Harold Siewerdsen (born 1969) is an American physicist and biomedical engineer who is a Professor of Imaging Physics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center as well as Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Radiology, and Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University.He is among the original inventors of cone-beam CT-guided radiotherapy [1] as well as weight-bearing cone ...
