Case report: Clinical workflow considerations for treating soft-tissue sarcoma on a 1.5-T MR-Linac

open access: yesTechnical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology
We present specific issues that arose when using a 1.5-Tesla MR-Linac to treat a series of 4 soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) patients. These issues arose from the combination of typical STS attributes (long, off-axis target) and MR-Linac design-specific ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

An Evaluation of The Consistency of Imrt Patient-Specific Qa Techniques

open access: yes, 2013
To ensure the integrity of an intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment, each plan must be validated through a measurement-based quality assurance (QA) procedure, known as patient specific IMRT QA.
