Simulating Magnetic Resonance Imaging Susceptibility-Induced Geometric Distortions for Cranial Stereotactic Radiotherapy Planning

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is routinely used to contour targets for stereotactic radiotherapy planning. However, MR images can suffer from susceptibility-induced geometric distortions, especially near air-tissue interfaces....

Simulation Free Direct-to-Unit Large-Animal SBRT Workflow

Large-animal studies of stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR) are faced with financial and logistical difficulties that limit widespread implementation. We developed a single-platform STAR porcine workflow on an O-ring lina...

Simulation-Free Expedited Whole Brain Treatments Using Next Generation Cone-Beam Computed Tomography on an O-Ring Adaptive System

HyperSight cone-beam CT (CBCT) has been validated for direct treatment planning without needing conventional CT simulation. We propose a simulation-free whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) workflow using the Ethos online adaptive pla...
