 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Enhanced helical CT scan in the pelvic iliac vessels targeting area three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy of metastatic lymph node target delineation of OF: Ming Zhu Li, Zhang Hui Yuan Liu Heping Peony [Abstract] Objective: To evaluate spiral CT scanning enhanced positioning iliac blood vessels in the area of pelvic three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy of metastatic lymph nodes in target delineation. Methods: Spiral CT scanning with enhanced positioning three-dimensional plan Xio-Release 4.2.0 system, 30 cases of pelvic iliac lymph node metastases in patients with avascular zone simulator. Results: spiral CT scanning enhanced positioning, you can get a richer and more accurate information, as determined by radiation target than the target CT scan to determine the accuracy higher. Conclusion: Enhanced helical CT scan in radiotherapy target delineation positioning application, making the differences in radiotherapy target delineation issues have been a better solution, significantly improve the accuracy of radiotherapy. [Keywords:] Spiral CT, location, metastatic lymph nodes, three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, target setting Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy is accurate outline the basic requirements of gross tumor volume, however, CT scan is difficult to focus on the vessels with the iliac vessels and pelvic bowel completely separate, pelvic enhanced spiral CT scan, according to iliac blood vessels, lymph nodes , enhanced the performance of different pelvic bowel, clearly show the location and size of lesions, can improve blood vessel area in the iliac lymph node metastases on the accuracy of target delineation, the method is accurate and low cost, simple and easy. our hospital since 2004 August to December 2006 have been 30 cases of pelvic iliac lymph node metastases in patients with avascular zone enhanced spiral CT scan and set up field radiotherapy positioning, now in its technical characteris
