ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

Global Efforts to Reduce Paediatric Cancer Care Disparities in Radiotherapy: A Decade Change
ABSTRACT Background We present an update on the status, needs and challenges faced by paediatric imaging and radiotherapy (RT) programmes globally after a previous survey conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 10 years prior. Methods We developed and distributed a 121‐question survey to radiation oncologists, medical physicists and ...

Abstract Background Temporal mismatches between gating signals and beam activation—beam‐on and beam‐off latencies—in gated particle beam therapy can compromise dose integrity. Yet standardized measurement techniques are lacking, and system‐specific characterization, particularly for synchrotron‐based proton systems, remains limited.

Synthetic MRI from radiotherapy planning CT images for Head‐and‐Neck Cancer
Abstract Background Computed Tomography (CT) provides geometric accuracy and electron density information essential for radiotherapy planning; however, it offers limited soft‐tissue contrast. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) improves tumor visualization but introduces registration uncertainties when acquired separately from the radiotherapy planning CT
