Post-Prostatectomy Image-Guided Radiotherapy: The Invisible Target Concept
In the era of intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) appears crucial to control dose delivery and to promote dose escalation while allowing healthy tissue sparing.

A Monte Carlo study of organ and effective doses of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans in radiotherapy [PDF]
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans utilized for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) procedures have become an essential part of radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess organ and effective doses resulting from new CBCT scan protocols (head, thorax, and

Abstract Background In deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) left breast radiation treatment, dosimetric impact of variation within breath hold (BH) tolerances has not been precisely quantified. Purpose Estimate target and organs at risk (OAR) dose variations due to patient movements within BH target tolerances, and assess impacts on 3DCRT, VMAT and ...

Abstract Background Anatomical changes during thoracic radiation therapy can alter dose delivery and compromise accuracy. Electronic portal imaging device (EPID)‐based in vivo dosimetry (IVD) enables noninvasive monitoring of these changes during treatment. Purpose This study quantitatively evaluated the impact of EPID‐based IVD in volumetric modulated

Abstract Background and purpose MR‐Linac (MRL) is well‐suited for treatment of oligometastatic disease (OMD) in muscle due to its superior soft tissue contrast. The purpose of this study was to assess dosimetric differences and quantify margins when CT‐guidance (CTgRT) is used for OMD treatment compared to MR‐guidance (MRgRT) on the MRL.
