Two-and-a-half-year clinical experience with the world's first magnetic resonance image guided radiation therapy system

Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2017
Purpose: Magnetic resonance image guided radiation therapy (MR-IGRT) has been used at our institution since 2014. We report on more than 2 years of clinical experience in treating patients with the world's first MR-IGRT system.

Empty Versus Full Bladder Protocols in Radiotherapy Planning for Localised Prostate Cancer: A Dosimetric Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background When planning prostate radiotherapy, full bladder preparation is widely used to displace bowel and bladder from high‐dose regions but is difficult to reproduce and can prolong workflows. Methods Twenty men with localised prostate cancer ± seminal vesicles underwent CT simulation with full and empty bladders.

Lung V5 and Planning Target Volume/Lung Volume Ratio as Independent Risk Factors for ≥Grade 2 Radiation Pneumonitis after Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy: A Retrospective Study

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung V5 and the planning target volume/lung volume ratio were identified as independent dosimetric risk factors for clinically significant radiation pneumonitis following moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy for lung cancer. Maintaining V5 < 35% may help mitigate this risk in clinical practice.

Comparing treatment uncertainty for ultra- vs. standard-hypofractionated breast radiation therapy based on in-vivo dosimetry

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2022
Background and purpose: Postoperative ultrahypofractionated radiation therapy (UHFRT) in 5 fractions (fx) for breast cancer patients is as effective and safe as conventionally hypofractionated RT (HFRT) in 15 fx, liberating time for higher-level daily ...

Radiation‐Induced Skin Injury in Cancer Radiotherapy: From Mechanisms to Management

Advanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
Radiation‐induced skin injuries (RISI) remain a significant challenge faced by cancer patients receiving radiotherapy (RT). This perspective article examines the pathophysiology of RISI and evaluates the currently existing and emerging therapeutic strategies, including stem cell‐derived exosomes and advanced hydrogels.

Fine wine, art, and medical physicist bibliometrics: Things that improve with age

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Purpose Bibliometric indicators are widely used to evaluate faculty productivity, yet these metrics change with career stage, evolving authorship practices, and technological shifts in how science is produced. This study examines patterns of scholarly output among radiation therapy medical physics faculty at leading cancer centers and provides
