Deep Hybrid Learning Prediction of Patient-Specific Quality Assurance in Radiotherapy: Implementation in Clinical Routine

Diagnostics, 2023
Background: Arc therapy allows for better dose deposition conformation, but the radiotherapy plans (RT plans) are more complex, requiring patient-specific pre-treatment quality assurance (QA). In turn, pre-treatment QA adds to the workload. The objective

Treatment plan prescreening for patient-specific quality assurance measurements using independent Monte Carlo dose calculations

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
PurposeThis study proposes a method to identify plans that failed patient-specific quality assurance (QA) and attempts to establish a criterion to prescreen treatment plans for patient-specific QA measurements with independent Monte Carlo dose ...

Analysis of dose comparison techniques for patient‐specific quality assurance in radiation therapy [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2019
AbstractPurposeGamma evaluation is the most commonly used technique for comparison of dose distributions for patient‐specific pretreatment quality assurance in radiation therapy. Alternative dose comparison techniques have been developed but not widely implemented. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the performance of several previously published

Development of Dosimetric Verification System for Patient-Specific Quality Assurance of High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a dosimetric verification system (DVS) using a solid phantom for patient-specific quality assurance (QA) of high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT).Methods: The proposed DVS consists of three parts: dose ...

Clinical evaluation of an anatomy‐based patient specific quality assurance system

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2014
The Delta4DVH Anatomy 3D quality assurance (QA) system (ScandiDos), which converts the measured detector dose into the dose distribution in the patient geometry was evaluated. It allows a direct comparison of the calculated 3D dose with the measured back‐projected dose.

The Combined Effect of Obesity and Contraceptive Use on Pulmonary Embolism in Adolescent Females Residing in the United States

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
