Popis: Our purpose was to evaluate the utility of time-fixed bladder volume control and adaptive bladder volume control with ultrasonography (US). Seventy-five patients with prostate cancer treated with proton-beam therapy were enrolled. Treatment plans were created using computed tomography (CT) images obtained 60 min after urination with usual water intake. Just before each irradiation, bladder volume was measured with US at the directed urine collection time. Bladder volume was calculated according to orthogonal diameters. A bladder volume of
