The Birmingham Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) project : developments towards selective internal particle therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper will review progress on two aspects of the Birmingham BNCT project. Firstly on evaluation of the effects of high and low LET radiations when delivered simultaneously, and secondly on attempts to optimise delivery of the boron carrier compound ...

The grid-dose-spreading algorithm for dose distribution calculation in heavy charged particle radiotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A new variant of the pencil-beam (PB) algorithm for dose distribution calculation for radiotherapy with protons and heavier ions, the grid-dose spreading (GDS) algorithm, is proposed.

Monitor units are not predictive of neutron dose for high-energy IMRT

open access: yesRadiation Oncology, 2012
Background Due to the substantial increase in beam-on time of high energy intensity-modulated radiotherapy (>10 MV) techniques to deliver the same target dose compared to conventional treatment techniques, an increased dose of scatter radiation ...

Whole breast and regional nodal irradiation in prone versus supine position in left sided breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) leads to reduced heart and lung doses in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. In this feasibility trial, we investigated the prone position for whole breast + lymph node irradiation (WB +

Improvement in Patient-Reported Outcomes With Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (RT) Compared With Standard RT: A Report From the NRG Oncology RTOG 1203 Study.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Oncology, 2020
PURPOSE In oncology trials, the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) is the standard tool for reporting adverse events (AEs), but it may underreport symptoms experienced by patients.

Development and operation of a pixel segmented liquid-filled linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance

open access: yes, 2004
A liquid isooctane (C$_{8}$H$_{18}$) filled ionization linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance has been designed, built and tested. The detector consists of 128 pixels, each of them with an area of 1.7 mm $\times$ 1.7 mm and a gap of 0.5 mm.

A systematic review of methods to immobilise breast tissue during adjuvant breast irradiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Greater use of 3D conformal, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and external beam partial breast irradiation following local excision (LE) for breast cancer has necessitated a review of the effectiveness of immobilisation methods to stabilise breast
