To determine the dosimetric impact of 3D-printed patient-specific cylindrical templates (PSCTs) printed with Formlabs Biomed Clear (BC) resin in gynecologic (GYN) high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT), and to validate clinical intuition of typical cases that w...
To reduce the frequency of calibration and adjustment of Elekta linear accelerator components, including MLCs, jaws, mechanical isocenter, beam spot position, symmetry, and flatness.
Plan deliverability robustness was explored by identifying and gating motion-sensitive control point sequences in single-target cranial VMAT plans. A dose-informed, control-point-specific motion tolerance was tested for its performance in mitigating coverage...
Our current clinical practice relies on using a chest wall contour as a surrogate for rib contours, as contouring individual ribs is prohibitive due to time constraints. This process introduces uncertainty to the validity of fracture risk estimates as derived...
