Online adaptive planning methods for intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2023 Abstract Online adaptive radiation therapy aims at adapting a patient's treatment plan to their current anatomy to account for inter-fraction variations before daily treatment delivery. As this process needs to be accomplished while the patient is immobilized on the treatment couch, it requires time-efficient adaptive planning methods

A Method for Online Dose-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy [PDF]
Cureus, 2014 A process was developed to allow the delivery of online dose-guided adaptive radiotherapy (DART). DART was defined as the method to utilize patient imaging data and treatment planning data, such as dose fluences to assess the validity and quality of the treatment and the dose delivered to the target volume and critical anatomical structures of the ...

Online adaptive radiotherapy and dose delivery accuracy: A retrospective analysis
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2023 AbstractPurposeWith online adaptive radiotherapy (ART), patient‐specific quality assurance (PSQA) testing cannot be performed prior to delivery of the adapted treatment plan. Consequently, the dose delivery accuracy of adapted plans (i.e., the ability of the system to interpret and deliver the treatment as planned) are not initially verified.

Adaptive radiotherapy: The Elekta Unity MR-linac concept
Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2019 Background and purpose: The promise of the MR-linac is that one can visualize all anatomical changes during the course of radiotherapy and hence adapt the treatment plan in order to always have the optimal treatment.
