Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) combined with online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) offers precise treatment of early-stage breast cancer, but inter-observer variability (IOV) in target delineation must be accounted for to maintain treatment quali...
Small metallic objects such as titanium and tantalum surgical clips are frequently present in clinical treatment planning images. Because these objects produce streak artifacts in planning CT images and may lie within the beam path, there is concern that they...
CT-guided adaptive radiotherapy (CTgART) introduces substantial workflow complexity and resource demands. While clinical experience is expected to improve efficiency, the magnitude and structure of adaptive learning have not been well quantified using objecti...
CT-guided online adaptive radiotherapy(CTgART) introduces substantial per-patient variability in session duration, complicating prospective scheduling. This study evaluates whether system-reported reference plan calculation metrics, specifically reference pla...
Online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) mitigates interfraction motion and enables potential reduction of planning target volume (PTV) margins relative to standard-of-care approaches. This study evaluates the robustness of 2 mm PTV margins in a prospective stereo...
