Real-time non-rigid 3D respiratory motion estimation for MR-guided radiotherapy using MR-MOTUS [PDF]
, 2021 The MR-Linac is a combination of an MR-scanner and radiotherapy linear accelerator (Linac) which holds the promise to increase the precision of radiotherapy treatments with MR-guided radiotherapy by monitoring motion during radiotherapy with MRI, and adjusting the radiotherapy plan accordingly.

Hounsfield-based Automatic Evaluation of Volumetric Breast Density on Radiotherapy CT-Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Radiotherapy is an integral part of treatment for many patients with breast cancer. However, side effects can occur, Example fibrosis or erythema. If patients at higher risks of radiation induced side effects could be identified before treatment, they could be given more individual information about the risks and benefits of radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy Dosimetry: A Review on Open-Source Optimizer [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Radiotherapy dosimetry plays a crucial role in optimizing treatment plans for cancer patients. In this study, we investigate the performance of a dozen standard state-of-the-art open-source optimizers for radiotherapy dosimetry. Our evaluation includes the use of TGG119 benchmark cases as well as one real case obtained from the Institute du Cancer de ...

Does setup on rectal wall improve rectal cancer boost radiotherapy?
Radiation Oncology, 2018 Background Rectal cancer patients that show a pathological complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy, have better prognosis. To increase pCR rates several studies escalate the tumor irradiation dose.

BMJ, 2018 Palliative radiotherapy offers a quick, inexpensive, and effective way of reducing many of the focal symptoms of advanced, incurable cancer, whether these arise from the primary tumour or from metastatic deposits. It can improve quality of life while being associated with limited treatment burden in terms of both hospital attendances and side effects ...

Weighted Concordance Index Loss-based Multimodal Survival Modeling for Radiation Encephalopathy Assessment in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Radiotherapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Radiation encephalopathy (REP) is the most common complication for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy. It is highly desirable to assist clinicians in optimizing the NPC radiotherapy regimen to reduce radiotherapy-induced temporal lobe injury (RTLI) according to the probability of REP onset.
