Diagnostic image‐based treatment planning for online adaptive ultra‐hypofractionated prostate cancer radiotherapy with MR‐Linac

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A new workflow was investigated for Elekta Unity MR‐Linac by removing the computed tomography (CT)‐simulation step and using diagnostic CT (DCT) for reference plan generation. Materials and methods Ten patients with ultra‐hypofractionated prostate cancer treated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided adaptive radiotherapy were ...

Long term simulation analysis of deceased donor initiated chains in kidney exchange programs [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Kidney exchange programs have been developed to find compatible kidneys for recipients who have incompatible donors. On the other hand, patients who do not have a living donor depend upon deceased donor (DD) donations to get a kidney transplant. Currently, in India a deceased donor donates kidneys directly to a deceased donor wait-list.

Semi‐automated hippocampal avoidance whole‐brain radiotherapy planning

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hippocampal avoidance whole‐brain radiotherapy (HA‐WBRT) is designed to spare cognitive function by reducing radiation dose to the hippocampus during the treatment of brain metastases. Current manual planning methods can be time‐consuming and may vary in quality, necessitating the development of automated approaches to streamline ...

Position‐dependent offset corrections for ring applicator reconstruction in cervical cancer brachytherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Due to the tight curvature in their design, ring applicators are usually associated with large positioning errors. The standard practice to correct for these deviations based on global offsets may not be sufficient to comply with the recommended tolerance.
