Spatially fractionated radiation therapy, specifically grid radiation therapy(GridRT),is a treatment option for bulky tumors.VMAT GridRT utilizes modulated arcs to create the grid of spherical targets within the tumor.This study...

Hypofractionated proton therapy for pancreatic cancer is limited by the proximity of radiosensitive abdominal organs. Single-energy Bragg peak (SEBP) proton delivery enables ultra-high dose-rate (UHDR) irradiation and may facilit...

To evaluate dosimetric trends and robustness of online adaptive radiation therapy for focal-boosted prostate SBRT. Materials/

Quantify dosimetric differences between original online adaptive plans (adapt-to-position [ATP] or adapt-to-shape [ATS]) and baseline shift (BLS)–corrected plans for prostate MRgRT on 1.5 Tesla MR-Linac. BLS is a fast, during tre...

Surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) uses external surface motion as a surrogate for internal target position. While strict SGRT tolerances (typically ±1mm) are common, they may still be permissive for patients with small surf...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the dosimetric consequences of direct CBCT dose calculation for abdominal stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy by comparing dose distributions calculated on simulation CT (simCT) versus...

A steep dose gradient between the target and surrounding normal brain is the hallmark of Leksell Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (LGK-SRS). However, the impact of fine-dose grid calculations on dose metrics and prescription...

To quantify the dosimetric impact of hidden input parameters in three inverse optimization (IO) algorithms—IPSA, HIPO, and MCO—for GYN HDR brachytherapy across two applicator types.

To quantify the dosimetric impact of interfractional anatomical changes in Syed-based high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer by comparing a single-plan (non-adaptive) versus multi-pla...

MLC backlash is a linac failure mode that results in MLC positional error that has been demonstrated to not be prevented by the linac’s internal safety systems [1]. This study aims to inform on the clinical significance of MLC po...

Proton radiation therapy (PRT) is an effective modality for ocular cancers. Substantial evidence indicates that proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) increases with linear energy transfer (LET). In vitro DNA double-stran...

High-dose-rate (HDR) vaginal brachytherapy often employs shielded applicators to enhance organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing—particularly rectal protection—in cases with asymmetric tumor distribution. Although the shield thickness in cyl...

A coming phase-1 study will look at feasibility and safety of Tumor-Treating-Field(TTField) arrays on treatment of locally-advanced stage III non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). This array maintains low-intensity alternating elect...

Stereotactic spinal treatments deliver a high radiation dose and utilize smaller target margins, on the order of 1 mm, to minimize dose to the spinal cord. Intrafraction tumor tracking is therefore essential to minimize dose outs...

This study presents dosimetric results for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using a self-shielded gyroscopic radiosurgery system for meningioma patients.

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. Give...

Hippocampal-avoidance whole-brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) presents a dosimetric challenge in sculpting steep dose gradients to spare critical neural structures. This study evaluated a novel Spiral Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy...

Simulation-free radiation therapy (SFRT) is an emerging paradigm which expedites palliative radiation by omitting a dedicated simulation computed tomography (CT) scan. This study quantifies dosimetric uncertainties associated wit...

End-expiration breath hold (EEBH) is commonly employed in GI radiotherapy to enable dose escalation while minimizing dose spillage to adjacent organs at risk. Surface-tracking systems are frequently used to support patient breath...

This work aimed to verify the dosimetric accuracy of a 0.35T MRI Linac using all five available tracking algorithms (Standard, Rigid, Small Mobile, Large Deforming, Complex Mobile) when tracking multiple targets simultaneously.

Treatment planning and dosimetry in 90Y-SIRT rely on accurate determination of perfused volumes (PV). Bremsstrahlung 90Y-SPECT imaging remains limited, with poor resolution and erroneous counts throughout the imaging volume. “Gro...

Halide perovskites, particularly CsPbBr3, present an exciting opportunity to overcome these limitations due to their high atomic number, fast charge transport, and exceptional radiation tolerance. While perovskite detectors have...

Desmoplasia around pancreatic cancer reduces blood perfusion and contrast distribution volume (DV), a biomarker of cell density. This study investigates a low-frequency clinical computed tomography perfusion (CTP) protocol to qua...

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for head and neck (HN) cancer helps maintain target coverage and spare organs-at-risk (OARs) despite anatomical changes like weight loss. For clinics without online ART, early identification of patient...
