Comparison of two close‐packing methods for vertex placement in lattice radiotherapy (LRT)
Abstract Background Lattice Radiation Therapy (LRT) is characterized by its 3D‐mouldated spatial dose distribution of vertices inside the lattice volume with high peak‐to‐valley dose ratio (PVDR) for enhancing tumor control and reducing normal tissue toxicity.

Abstract Purpose In this study, the dosimetric effect of baseline shift (BLS) in a magnetic resonance linear accelerator was investigated and compared with adapt‐to‐position (ATP), adapt‐to‐shape (ATS), and an uncorrected plan without adaptation. Methods In a simulation dataset consisting of 30 patients (10 prostate, 10 liver, 10 pancreatic), all ...

Background Compared to intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT), proton arc therapy (PAT) has various dosimetric advantages. However, questions have been raised over whether the larger low‐dose bath during PAT may increase radiation‐induced lymphocyte killing, which is correlated with adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract The anticipated clinical demand for carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in the United States is expected to include a substantial proportion of clinically complex disease sites that require accurate, highly conformal, and adaptive treatment. These clinical needs, together with the unique physical and biological characteristics of carbon ion beams ...
