Objective To investigate the difference in the pass rate of intensity?modulated radiation therapy ( IMRT) planning in patients with different tumors and its value in determining pass rate thresholds. Methods A total of 35 verified IMRT plans for each of esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and lung cancer were selected consecutively, and a one?way analysis of variance was used to investigate the difference in pass rate. A single pass rate threshold was used to test all IMRT plans, and the pass rate thresholds of IMRT plans for different tumors were calculated based on normal distribution law. Results There was a significant difference in the means between the 5 groups of data ( F=35. 83, P<0. 01) , and there was also a significant difference between any two groups ( P=0. 000) . There were statistically significant differences between nasopharyngeal carcinoma group and other four groups ( P=0. 000) . The difference was not only significant between the breast cancer group and the esophageal cancer group ( P=0. 001) , but also between the breast cancer group and the lung cancer group ( P=0. 033) . The calculated results of each threshold were 93. 37%, 89. 34%, 97. 68%, 95. 99%, and 95. 42%, respectively. Conclusions Different thresholds should be used for IMRT plans for different tumors, and the normal distribution law can be used to calculate the threshold.

Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of transrectal gray scale contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in distinguishing benign from malignant nodes of prostate. Methods Thirty-three patients with 38 prostate nodes underwent real-time transrectal gray scale CEUS with SonoVue and contrast pulsed sequence (CPS). Contrast enhancement pattern of the prostate nodes were recorded and time-intensity curves (TIC) were drawn to calculate the parameters and difference between benign and malignant nodes. Results Twenty benign nodes (17 in inner gland) and 18 malignant ones (14 in external gland) were confirmed by pathology. Compared with normal peripheral zone, malignant lesions showed significantly earlier time to enhancement. The time to peak (TTP), accelerating time (ACT) and peak intensity (PI) of malignant lesions were lower than those of benign lesions (P<0.05).There was no significance in arrival time (AT) between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Of all parameters in CEUS, TTP, ACT and PI are different between prostate benign and malignant lesions, and thus contribute to discriminate prostate cancer from benign diseases.
