Treatment planning optimization with beam motion modeling for dynamic arc delivery of SBRT using Cyberknife with multileaf collimation.
(WILEY, 2019-12-01)
PURPOSE: The use of dynamic arcs for delivery of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) on Cyberknife is investigated, with a view to improving treatment times. This study investigates the required modeling of robot ...
New target volume delineation and PTV strategies to further personalise radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2021-02-25)
Target volume delineation uncertainty (DU) is arguably one of the largest geometric uncertainties in radiotherapy that are accounted for using planning target volume (PTV) margins. Geometrical uncertainties are typically ...
Edge effects in 3D dosimetry: characterisation and correction of the non-uniform dose response of PRESAGE®.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-05-04)
Previous work has shown that PRESAGE® can be used successfully to perform 3D dosimetric measurements of complex radiotherapy treatments. However, measurements near the sample edges are known to be difficult to achieve. ...
Daily adaptive radiotherapy for patients with prostate cancer using a high field MR-linac: Initial clinical experiences and assessment of delivered doses compared to a C-arm linac.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-07-01)
INTRODUCTION: MR-guided adapted radiotherapy (MRgART) using a high field MR-linac has recently become available. We report the estimated delivered fractional dose of the first five prostate cancer patients treated at our ...
Rapid 4D-MRI reconstruction using a deep radial convolutional neural network: Dracula.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2021-06-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: 4D and midposition MRI could inform plan adaptation in lung and abdominal MR-guided radiotherapy. We present deep learning-based solutions to overcome long 4D-MRI reconstruction times while maintaining ...
An Inter-observer Study to Determine Radiotherapy Planning Target Volumes for Recurrent Gynaecological Cancer Comparing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Only With Computed Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-02-24)
AIMS: Target delineation uncertainty is arguably the largest source of geometric uncertainty in radiotherapy. Several factors can affect it, including the imaging modality used for delineation. It is accounted for by ...
Online adaptive radiotherapy for head and neck cancers on the MR linear Accelerator: Introducing a novel modified Adapt-to-Shape approach.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2021-11-19)
INTRODUCTION: The Elekta Unity MR-Linac (MRL) has enabled adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for patients with head and neck cancers (HNC). Adapt-To-Shape-Lite (ATS-Lite) is a novel Adapt-to-Shape strategy that provides ART without ...
Understanding the Benefit of Magnetic Resonance-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy in Rectal Cancer Patients: a Single-centre Study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-11-03)
AIMS: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is the mainstay of treatment for patients with rectal cancer. Standard clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) margins of 10 mm are used to ...
An ESTRO-ACROP guideline on quality assurance and medical physics commissioning of online MRI guided radiotherapy systems based on a consensus expert opinion.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-04-01)
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this consensus expert opinion was to define quality assurance (QA) tests for online magnetic resonance image (MRI) guided radiotherapy (oMRgRT) systems and to define the important medical physics ...
Feasibility of tumour-focused adaptive radiotherapy for bladder cancer on the MR-linac.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-07-01)
Bladder tumour-focused magnetic resonance image-guided adaptive radiotherapy using a 1.5 Tesla MR-linac is feasible. A full online workflow adapting to anatomy at each fraction is achievable in approximately 30 min. ...
