Assessing the impact of adaptations to the clinical workflow in radiotherapy using transit in vivo dosimetry

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background and Purpose: Currently in-vivo dosimetry (IVD) is primarily used to identify individual patient errors in radiotherapy. This study investigated possible correlations of observed trends in transit IVD results, with adaptations to the clinical ...

A geometry and dose-volume based performance monitoring of artificial intelligence models in radiotherapy treatment planning for prostate cancer

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background and Purpose: Clinical Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementations lack ground-truth when applied on real-world data. This study investigated how combined geometrical and dose-volume metrics can be used as performance monitoring tools to ...

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 ...

Determination of Iridium and Rhodium in Copper Anode Slime by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry with Nickel Sulphide Fire Assay

Yankuang ceshi, 2023
BACKGROUND With the wide application of iridium and rhodium in aerospace, electronics, energy and other fields, it has become a very attractive metal in the world. In China, iridium and rhodium ore resources are relatively scarce with low grade, so it is

In vivo dosimetry for patients with prostate cancer to assess possible impact of bladder and rectum preparation

Technical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology, 2020
Purpose/objective: In all treatment sites of our radiotherapy network, in vivo dosimetry (PerFRACTION™) was fully implemented in February 2018. We hypothesized that additional help with bladder and rectum preparation by home nursing would improve ...

Precision of image-guided spinal stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and impact of positioning variables

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2022
Background and purpose: Spinal stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) requires high precision. We evaluate the intrafraction motion during cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) guided SABR with different immobilization techniques.

A phase I dose-escalation trial of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for non-spine bone and lymph node metastases (DESTROY-trial)

Radiation Oncology, 2018
Background In an oligometastatic setting, metastasis-directed treatment could render patients disease free, possibly for a protracted interval. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is one of the treatment modalities that can be offered to these ...
