HyperArc is an automated planning and delivery technique for single and multiple-target stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments that creates highly conformal plans and has potential for saving time. This study evaluates whether HyperArc SRS plans have a no...
Open-faced thermoplastic masks are widely used for immobilization in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to achieve submillimeter treatment accuracy. This study compared the performance of two commercially available mask designs for SRS patients: the dual-layer O...
Winston-Lutz (WL) testing is routinely used to assess coincidence between a linac’s mechanical and radiation isocenter. Although dedicated commercial phantoms exist for off-axis target verification, they require additional resources and training. The QUASARTM...
Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) can be delivered using a multi-isocentre technique. This requires a time-consuming alignment process using kV orthogonal imaging followed by cone-beam CT (CBCT) to ensure alignment accuracy across multiple anatomical regions. Su...
This work describes the development of a flexible educational framework designed to address required curriculum and professional competencies for Radiation Oncology (RO) and Medical Physics (MP) residents implemented in two distinct clinical and academic envi...
