Diagnostic CT-Enabled Planning (DART): Results of a Randomized Trial in Palliative Radiation Therapy.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Using diagnostic computed tomography (dCT) scans instead of traditional CT simulation (CTsim) scans can streamline operations in cancer treatment and lessen the burden on patients.
- The DART trial compared dCT-based planning to CTsim-based planning in patients needing palliative radiation therapy, focusing on metrics like time spent at the clinic and the effectiveness of the treatment plans.
- Results showed that dCT significantly reduced the time patients spent at the cancer center and was rated more positively for time burden, with both methods delivering effective and acceptable treatment plans.
