Advantages and limitations of navigation‐based multicriteria optimization (MCO) in selectively sparing pharyngeal constrictor muscles in head and neck radiotherapy treatment planning

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Sparing pharyngeal constrictor muscles (PCMs) during radiotherapy improves patient‐reported swallowing function. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of integrating knowledge‐based planning (KBP) with multicriteria optimization (MCO) in Eclipse v18.0 to selectively spare PCM, quantify the required trade‐off in prophylactic ...

Demonstration of an enhanced dosing pattern for debulking large and bulky unresectable tumors via differential hole‐size spatially fractionated radiotherapy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose/objective We propose a novel lattice deployment for spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) treatments. In this approach, a larger diameter high‐dose sphere is centrally placed in the bulky tumor mass and surrounded by smaller diameter high‐dose spheres.

Parapharyngeal space tumors: considerations in 26 cases

open access: yesSão Paulo Medical Journal, 1999
CONTEXT: Parapharyngeal space tumors comprise less than 0.5% of all head and neck neoplasms.1 The majority of these tumors are benign, but surgery is usually required to establish the diagnosis and treat the patients.

Comprehensive end‐to‐end dosimetry audit for stereotactic body radiotherapy in spine, lung, and soft tissue

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To create and conduct a comprehensive onsite end‐to‐end dosimetry audit to assess treatment accuracy of spine, lung, and soft tissue Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) across Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) radiotherapy centers. Methods The Australian Clinical Dosimetry Service (ACDS) anthropomorphic thorax phantom underwent a CT ...
