Cross-modality deep learning: Contouring of MRI data from annotated CT data only.
(2020-11-30)
Purpose Online adaptive radiotherapy would greatly benefit from the development of reliable auto-segmentation algorithms for organs-at-risk and radiation targets. Current practice of manual segmentation is subjective and ...
Patterns of practice for adaptive and real-time radiation therapy (POP-ART RT) part I: Intra-fraction breathing motion management.
(2020-12)
Purpose The POP-ART RT study aims to determine to what extent and how intra-fractional real-time respiratory motion management (RRMM) and plan adaptation for inter-fractional anatomical changes (ART), are used in clinical ...
Computational modelling of the cerebral cortical microvasculature: effect of x-ray microbeams versus broad beam irradiation.
(2017-05)
Microbeam Radiation Therapy is an innovative pre-clinical strategy which uses arrays of parallel, tens of micrometres wide kilo-voltage photon beams to treat tumours. These x-ray beams are typically generated on a synchrotron ...
Towards Real Time Radiotherapy Simulation
(SPRINGER, 2020-06-27)
Fast CPU-based Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
(2015-08)
Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate method for calculating dose distributions in radiotherapy. Its clinical application, however, still is limited by the long runtimes conventional implementations ...
Worst case optimization for interfractional motion mitigation in carbon ion therapy of pancreatic cancer.
(2016-10-07)
Introduction The efficacy of radiation therapy treatments for pancreatic cancer is compromised by abdominal motion which limits the spatial accuracy for dose delivery - especially for particles. In this work we investigate ...
A preclinical microbeam facility with a conventional x-ray tube.
(2016-12)
Purpose Microbeam radiation therapy is an innovative treatment approach in radiation therapy that uses arrays of a few tens of micrometer wide and a few hundreds of micrometer spaced planar x-ray beams as treatment fields. ...
Patterns of practice for adaptive and real-time radiation therapy (POP-ART RT) part II: Offline and online plan adaption for interfractional changes.
(2020-12)
Purpose The POP-ART RT study aims to determine to what extent and how intrafractional real-time respiratory motion management (RRMM), and plan adaptation for interfractional anatomical changes (ART) are used in clinical ...
