A dosimetric comparison of real-time adaptive and non-adaptive radiotherapy: A multi-institutional study encompassing robotic, gimbaled, multileaf collimator and couch tracking.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-04-01)
PURPOSE: A study of real-time adaptive radiotherapy systems was performed to test the hypothesis that, across delivery systems and institutions, the dosimetric accuracy is improved with adaptive treatments over non-adaptive ...
Review of ultrasound image guidance in external beam radiotherapy part II: intra-fraction motion management and novel applications.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2016-04-21)
Imaging has become an essential tool in modern radiotherapy (RT), being used to plan dose delivery prior to treatment and verify target position before and during treatment. Ultrasound (US) imaging is cost-effective in ...
Real-time 4D dose reconstruction for tracked dynamic MLC deliveries for lung SBRT.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)
PURPOSE: This study provides a proof of concept for real-time 4D dose reconstruction for lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with multileaf collimator (MLC) tracking and assesses the impact of tumor tracking ...
Temporal regularization of ultrasound-based liver motion estimation for image-guided radiation therapy.
(WILEY, 2016-01-01)
PURPOSE: Ultrasound-based motion estimation is an expanding subfield of image-guided radiation therapy. Although ultrasound can detect tissue motion that is a fraction of a millimeter, its accuracy is variable. For controlling ...
