MRI-only based radiotherapy treatment planning for the rat brain on a Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) [PDF]
, 2015 Computed tomography (CT) is the standard imaging modality in radiation therapy treatment planning (RTP). However, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides superior soft tissue contrast, increasing the precision of target volume selection.

Impact of radiopacified bone cement on radiotherapy dose calculation
Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2020 Background and purpose: Radiopacifiers are introduced to bone cements to provide the appearance of bone in kilovoltage (kV) radiographic images. For higher energy megavoltage (MV) radiotherapy treatment beams, however, these radiopacifiers do not cause a

Neuro-Dynamic Programming for Radiation Treatment Planning [PDF]
, 2002 In many cases a radiotherapy treatment is delivered as a series of smaller dosages over a period of time. Currently, it is difficult to determine the actual dose that has been delivered at each stage, precluding the use of adaptive treatment plans ...

On Existence of $L^1$-solutions for Coupled Boltzmann Transport Equation and Radiation Therapy Treatment Optimization [PDF]
, 2017 The paper considers a linear system of Boltzmann transport equations modelling the evolution of three species of particles, photons, electrons and positrons. The system is coupled because of the collision term (an integral operator).

Radio(chemo)therapy in locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer
European Respiratory Review, 2016 Definitive radiochemotherapy is the standard treatment for many patients with locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Treatment outcomes have improved over the last decades. Several treatment regimens have been shown effective and safe.
