Magnetic Resonance Guided Radiation Therapy (MRgRT) Prostate Motion and Margins
This study evaluated intra‐fractional prostate motion during MR‐guided radiotherapy to determine appropriate PTV margins for prostate cancer. Analysis of 18 patients resulted in calculated margins of 3.2 mm (AP), 1.7 mm (LR), and 3.2 mm (SI), supporting the potential for margin reduction with MRgRT. ABSTRACT Introduction Systematic and random errors in

This study compared expert and novice radiation therapists during surface‐guided radiation therapy (SGRT) setup for head and neck cases using eye tracking. Experts exhibited fewer gaze fixations and concentrated on specific screens during the latter half of positioning, suggesting that they efficiently identified key positioning points.

This prospective study investigated the feasibility of stabilised hyaluronic acid gel as a rectal spacer in gynaecological cancer brachytherapy. In twelve patients, the spacer was successfully inserted into the rectovaginal space without serious adverse events, had high visibility on MRI, increased the target‐to‐rectum distance compared with no spacer ...
