Commissioning and end-to-end validation of a combined surface-guided and triggered kV imaging workflow for breath-hold SBRT on a Varian TrueBeam. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Background Respiratory motion introduces significant geometric uncertainty in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for thoracic and abdominal tumors. Deep Inspiration Breath‐Hold (DIBH) mitigates this, but the surface signal alone may not reflect internal target position, supporting the need for real‐time internal‐anatomy verification during ...

The role of image-guided radiotherapy in prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background: Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) has gradually been widely promoted in clinical procedure. However, there has been no consensus on the effects of IGRT on toxicity and survival, and no clear level 1 evidence has even been promulgated. Methods:

ANALYTICAL AND MONTE CARLO SIMULATION STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OFSTRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THE PATH OF ELECTRONS WITH ENERGYTYPICAL OF MRI-LINAC RADIOTHERAPY

Anales (Asociación Física Argentina), 2022
Both analytical and numerical methods have proven to be suitable for describing radiation transport and interactions. The standard Boltzmann formalism derived from statistical mechanics requires to be specifically re-formulated to account for the ...

EFFECT OF INTENSE MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THE TRAJECTORY OF ELECTRONSPROPAGATING IN LOW DENSITY MEDIA OF INTEREST FOR MRI-LINAC RADIOTHERAPY

Anales (Asociación Física Argentina), 2023
Ionizing radiation transport mechanisms in presence of magnetic fields can be described in terms of formalisms based on the Boltzmann radiation transport equation. However, when the transport occurs not in vacuum but in scattering media the difficulty of
