Improving Equity of Care for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Patients: Utilising Multilingual Software to Support Breath‐Hold Breast Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A 22% breath‐hold failure and exclusion rate highlighted major communication barriers for CALD breast radiotherapy patients. In response, a multilingual app was developed to deliver translated coaching for DIBH and EBH in seven languages, improving health equity within the local health district through early education, patient‐friendly FAQs, and ...

A multi-institutional survey evaluating patient related QA – phase II

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2017
In phase I of the survey a planning intercomparison of patient-related QA was performed at 12 institutions. The participating clinics created phantom based IMRT and VMAT plans which were measured utilizing the ArcCheck diode array.

Prone Breast Radiotherapy on the MR‐Linac: A Technical Note on Skin‐Couch Contact Dose Effects

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This retrospective planning study evaluated the dosimetric effects of skin‐couch contact during prone APBI on a 1.5 T MR‐Linac by comparing treatment plans calculated with and without a magnetic field. While the presence of the magnetic field increased overall superficial skin dose, it consistently reduced dose at the skin‐couch contact region ...

Intrafraction motion and impact of margin reduction for MR‐Linac online adaptive radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer treatments

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 17-24, March 2025.
This analysis included quantification of intrafraction motion in pancreas stereotactic ablative radiotherapy treated on the MR‐Linac, leading to the development of adjusted (PTV) margins. Intrafraction motion indicated an average target displacement of 1–3 mm, resulting in an adjusted PTV margin of 2 mm in the right–left and superior–inferior ...

External beam accelerated partial breast irradiation: dosimetric assessment of conformal and three different intensity modulated techniques

Radiology and Oncology, 2019
The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare four different external beam radiotherapy techniques of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) considering target coverage, dose to organs at risk and overall plan quality.

IMRT‐application with an add‐on MMLC [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2003
In order to provide automatic IMRT dose delivery with an add‐on MMLC a technical integration of a MMLC system with a linear accelerator was realized. The principle of this integration and the changes and enhancements of the existing hard‐and software are briefly described.

Technique considerations for implementing volumetric‐modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation within an Australian tertiary institution

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 165-172, March 2025.
In 2020, our institution transitioned to the Eclipse™ treatment planning system and to Truebeam® linear accelerators with 6 MV and 10 MV energies. The linear accelerators were installed in smaller bunkers that could not accommodate 400 cm FAD. A multidisciplinary team within the institution was created to evaluate existing total body irradiation ...

Dosimetric comparison of standard three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy followed by intensity-modulated radiotherapy boost schedule (sequential IMRT plan) with simultaneous integrated boost-IMRT (SIB IMRT) treatment plan in patients with localized carcinoma prostate

Indian Journal of Urology, 2012
Aims: Dosimeteric and radiobiological comparison of two radiation schedules in localized carcinoma prostate: Standard Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) followed by Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) boost (sequential-IMRT) with ...
