A partial breast irradiation (PBI) VMAT technique has been implemented at our center based on clinical trial evidence that showed reduced long-term toxicity when compared with whole breast irradiation. Our use case for PBI includes difficult anatomy like very...

To develop an open-source application capable of retrospectively monitoring the position of radiopaque markers from bi-planar fluoroscopy images. To enable investigation of the cardiorespiratory motion of implanted cardiac leads from bi-planar fluoroscopy fro...

To describe the development and validation of in-house automatic planning for VMAT partial breast irradiation (PBI) in either 1 or 5 fractions.

Deviceless 4DCT (D4D) reconstruction relies on changes to patient anatomy, such as lung volume or external contour to generate a pseudo respiratory trace which is used to bin 4DCTs for use in radiotherapy planning. This poses a challenge due to the lack of an...

To investigate internal treatment margins for targets undergoing cardiorespiratory motion with the use of dynamic tracking technology.

To investigate the effect of tumour location and incidental radiation dose delivered to the internal mammary lymph nodes (IMLNs) in breast radiotherapy (RT) on breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM).

To investigate characteristics of the heart’s respiratory-induced motion and its geometric impact for motion monitoring in cardiac radioablation.
