Longitudinal fan-beam computed tomography dataset for head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe in detail a dataset consisting of longitudinal fan-beam computed tomography (CT) imaging to visualize anatomical changes in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients throughout radiotherapy (RT) treatment course.

Acquisition and validation methods

This dataset consists of CT images from 31 HNSCC patients who underwent volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Patients had three CT scans acquired throughout the duration of the radiation treatment course. Pretreatment planning CT scans with a median of 13 days before treatment (range: 2-27), mid-treatment CT at 22 days after start of treatment (range: 13-38), and post-treatment CT 65 days after start of treatment (range: 35-192). Patients received RT treatment to a total dose of 58-70 Gy, using
