ABSTRACT Background In radiotherapy for early‐stage glottic cancer, evaluating the target surface dose at the glottic air–tissue boundary is crucial, as buildup effect can cause underdosing. The accuracy of dose evaluation in the surrounding tissues is affected by both the dose calculation algorithms and the accuracy of the Hounsfield unit values in ...

Post-traumatic dizziness or vertigo is one of the major complaints following head (Davies and Luxon 1995; Luxon 1996) or whiplash injuries (Oosterveld et al. 1991), not only in adults but also in children (Fried 1980; Vartainen et al. 1985). It accounts for increasing numbers of medicolegal claims.

Abstract Purpose To compare plan quality among photon volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with robustness using three different proton beam delivery systems with various spot size (σ) ranges: cyclotron‐generated proton beams (CPBs) (σ: 2.7–7.0 mm), linear accelerator proton beams (LPBs) (σ: 2.9–5.5 mm),

IROC phantoms accurately detect MLC delivery errors
Abstract Purpose We evaluated the impact of random and whole‐bank multileaf collimator (MLC) delivery errors on dosimetric delivery accuracy in the Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) phantom audits, as well as differences in delivery accuracy between the IROC phantom prescription and typical clinical fraction sizes.

NeckCheck: Predicting Neck Strain using Head Tracker Sensors [PDF]
Tech neck, a growing musculoskeletal concern caused by prolonged poor posture during device use, has significant health implications. This study investigates the relationship between head posture and muscular activity in the upper trapezius muscle to predict muscle strain by leveraging data from EMG sensors and head trackers.

The effect of multi‐leaf collimator leaf width on VMAT treatment plan quality
Abstract Background The advent of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in radiotherapy has made it one of the most commonly used techniques in clinical practice. VMAT is the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) while the gantry is in motion, and existing literature has shown it has decreased treatment delivery times and the ...
