Assessing dose contribution to pelvic lymph nodes in intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017
Purpose: In radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer, high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is commonly used after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to deliver a cumulative EQD2 of 80 to 90 Gy to the primary tumor.

Dynamic modulated arc therapy (DMAT): A time‐aware, modulation‐steered optimization framework for next‐generation radiotherapy delivery

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Conventional VMAT optimization largely treats delivery time and deliverability as emergent properties of simplified, control‐point‐centric models that often ignore finite acceleration and other dynamic limits. As modern linacs continue to increase maximum axis speeds and dose rates, there is a growing need for a planning paradigm ...

Clinical in‐vivo dosimetry for total skin electron therapy using gafchromic™ EBT4 film

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Total skin electron therapy (TSET) is a standard treatment for cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma. Due to the complex patient positioning and irregular body contours, robust in‐vivo dosimetry (IVD) is essential to verify dose uniformity. While thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are traditional standard, their utility is hindered by labor ...
