Influence of Specific Treatment Parameters on Nontarget and Out-of-Field Doses in a Phantom Model of Prostate SBRT with CyberKnife and TrueBeam

open access: yesLife, 2022
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of a key treatment plan and beam parameters on overall dose distribution and on doses in organs laying in further distance from the target during prostate SBRT.

Electron Streaming Effect Associated With the Elekta Unity Anterior Imaging Coil

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
The presence of the static field in magnetic resonance guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) systems, such as the Elekta Unity MR-Linac (MRL), influences charged particle motion due to the Lorentz force in and around patients.

Determining Out-of-Field Doses and Second Cancer Risk From Proton Therapy in Young Patients—An Overview

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Proton therapy has the potential to provide survival and tumor control outcomes comparable and frequently superior to photon therapy. This has led to a significant concern in the medical physics community on the risk for the induction of second cancers ...
