Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for High-Risk Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Uro
Background/Objectives: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is increasingly used for localized prostate cancer (PCa), but evidence supporting its use in high-risk PCa (HRPC) remains limited.

Comparison of WBRT alone, SRS alone, and their combination in the treatment of one or more brain metastases: Review and meta-analysis

Tumor Biology, 2017
Whole brain radiotherapy has been a standard treatment of brain metastases. Stereotactic radiosurgery provides more focal and aggressive radiation and normal tissue sparing but worse local and distant control.

Machine learning and lean six sigma for targeted patient-specific quality assurance of volumetric modulated arc therapy plans

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and purpose: Radiotherapy plans with excessive complexity exhibit higher uncertainties and worse patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) results, while the workload of measurement-based PSQA can impact the efficiency of the radiotherapy ...

Impact of Non-Linear CT Resampling on Enhancing Synthetic-CT Generation in Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation

Applied Sciences
Computed tomography (CT) images are stored at a 12-bit depth. However, many deep learning libraries and pre-trained models are designed for 8-bit images, requiring an intermediate compression step before restoring the original 12-bit physical range. This
