To evaluate the dosimetric impact of rotational alignment errors on volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) craniospinal irradiation (CSI), with emphasis on ring-based gantry platforms that lack rotational couch corrections. Given increasing interest in anter...
In radiation oncology, advanced imaging tools such as dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) offer the potential for improved tumor delineation and reduced proton range uncertainty. Such technologies are often introduced into clinical workflows without compre...
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects nearly one in four adults worldwide and has become an escalating public health concern. Medical and surgical interventions often carry notable morbidity, cost, and side effects. As a noninvasive alternative, low-dose radiotherapy (...
This session is jointly organized by the Working Group on Radiation Dosimetry and Task Group 359 on FLASH (ultra-high dose rate) radiation dosimetry. The session will begin with an educational review of currently available radiation dosimeters used for both c...
Dose evaluations for brachytherapy have traditionally followed the TG-43 formalism, with its simplifying assumptions of a water-equivalent patient. However, patient-specific model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) can offer more accurate doses for tr...
Focused on the "fringes" of Medical Physics - in line with AAPM strategic plan - expanding beyond the current boundaries of Medical Physics. Collecting non-traditional science that belongs/should belong to medical physics. Fun, stimulating, and thought-provok...
Proton arcs, upright protons, and economics
This session will bring together researchers, clinicians, and industry partners engaged in preclinical radiation and imaging studies to discuss strategies for reducing animal use while maintaining scientific rigor. With recent federal guidelines emphasizing t...
