Online radiotherapy—the paradigm shift to real-time adaptive radiotherapy

open access: yesDeutsches Ärzteblatt international
Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) involves the continuous adaptation of the radiation plan according to patient- and tumorspecific feedback. In online ART, the plan is optimized in real time during the treatment; in offline ART, the plan is recalculated between treatment sessions.

Online MR guided dose escalated radiotherapy for organ preservation in distal rectal cancer

open access: yesClinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2022
Introduction: Non-surgical management of rectal cancer aiming for organ-preservation is an important development to improve rectal cancer treatment. Dose escalated radiotherapy represents one approach to increase clinical complete response (cCR) rates ...

An end-to-end test for MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy

open access: yesPhysics in Medicine & Biology, 2020
Abstract In the evolving field of adaptive MR guided radiotherapy, the need for dedicated procedures for acceptance and quality assurance is increasing. Research has been devoted to MR compatible dosimeters and phantoms, but to date no end-to-end test has been presented that covers an MRgRT workflow.

Experimental validation of multi-fraction online adaptations in magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy

open access: yesPhysics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background and purpose: Radiotherapy plan verification is generally performed on the reference plan based on the pre-treatment anatomy. However, the introduction of online adaptive treatments demands a new approach, as plans are created daily on ...

Patient-specific neural networks for contour propagation in online adaptive radiotherapy

open access: yesPhysics in Medicine & Biology, 2023
Abstract Objective. fast and accurate contouring of daily 3D images is a prerequisite for online adaptive radiotherapy. Current automatic techniques rely either on contour propagation with registration or deep learning (DL) based segmentation with convolutional neural networks (CNNs ...
