Professional quality of life and burnout among medical physicists working in radiation oncology: The role of alexithymia and empathy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background and purpose: The professional quality of life of radiation oncology professionals can be influenced by different contributing factors, including personality traits. Alexithymia involves deficits in emotion processing and awareness.

Accuracy and reproducibility of a single‐pose image‐to‐robot registration method for mobile C‐arm cone beam CT guided histotripsy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Histotripsy is a focal tumor therapy that utilizes focused ultrasound (US) to mechanically destroy tissue. To overcome visualization limitations of diagnostic US‐guidance, C‐arm cone beam CT (CBCT)‐guided histotripsy is being developed, for which a mobile C‐arm could increase accessibility. CBCT‐guided histotripsy uses a phantom with a

Impact of respiratory motion on dose distribution in SIB‐SBRT for lung cancer

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Respiratory motion is a major source of dose uncertainty in lung cancer radiotherapy. The dose distribution of simultaneous integrated boost‐stereotactic body radiotherapy (SIB‐SBRT) is inhomogeneous and is significantly impacted by respiratory motion for lung cancer. The effect of respiratory motion on SIB‐SBRT was investigated with a

Simulation‐free workflow for lattice radiation therapy using deep learning predicted synthetic computed tomography: A feasibility study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Lattice radiation therapy (LRT) is a form of spatially fractionated radiation therapy that allows increased total dose delivery aiming for improved treatment response without an increase in toxicities, commonly utilized for palliation of bulky tumors.

Diagnostic Challenge in Frontal Variant Alzheimer's Disease With Low Amyloid‐β PET Retention

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diagnosing frontal variant Alzheimer's disease (fvAD) is difficult and could be even more difficult when amyloid‐beta (Aβ) PET retention is low. A 63‐year‐old woman presenting with a 3‐year history of apathy and memory impairment showed executive dysfunction, memory impairment, and severe bilateral frontotemporal atrophy on MRI.

Grading of Glioma Tumors by Analysis of Minimum Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Maximum Relative Cerebral Blood Volume

Caspian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 2016
Background: Gliomas are the most common primary neoplasms of the central nervous system. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) could estimate high-grade Gliomas computed with dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging which it is artificially lowered by ...
