MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy for prostate cancer: When do we need to account for intra-fraction motion?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-11-01)A shift of the daily plan can mitigate target position changes that occur between daily MR acquisition and treatment for MR-linac radiotherapy, but increases the session time. We demonstrated that our workflow strategy and ... -
MRI-guided lung SBRT: Present and future developments.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-12-01)Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is rapidly becoming an alternative to surgery for the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. Lung SBRT is administered in a hypo-fractionated, conformal manner, ... -
