Long‐term stability analysis of beam shape in a robotic radiosurgery system

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the long‐term stability of CyberKnife beam profile parameters and assess their compliance with existing quality assurance (QA) guidelines. We evaluated beam profiles in both standard and diagonal planes over 3.5 years post‐installation to detect potential issues and ensure consistent beam quality.

Factors associated with uterine fibroids in women of reproductive age: A cross-sectional study

open access: yesActa Biomedica Scientifica
Background. Uterine fibroids is a benign monoclonal tumor originating from the smooth muscle layer of the uterus. Non-modifiable risk factors for the development of uterine fibroids, such as age, ethnicity, age at menarche, etc, have been studied quite ...

Demonstration of an enhanced dosing pattern for debulking large and bulky unresectable tumors via differential hole‐size spatially fractionated radiotherapy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose/objective We propose a novel lattice deployment for spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) treatments. In this approach, a larger diameter high‐dose sphere is centrally placed in the bulky tumor mass and surrounded by smaller diameter high‐dose spheres.

Dosimetric evaluation and clinical application of collimated apertures with proton beam line scanning in stereotactic radiotherapy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is a highly effective treatment with precision for small, localized lesions. Proton therapy, characterized by the Bragg peak, offers superior dose conformity compared to photon‐based approaches. However, challenges remain in minimizing lateral penumbra and optimizing dose delivery, particularly for small

Localization accuracy of 6‐second CBCT for lung IGRT with various breathing patterns

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The 6‐second cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisition of the Ethos HyperSight (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. Palo Alto, CA, USA) on‐board imaging system offers benefits, but could be too fast to accurately capture an average target position in a free‐breathing lung cancer patient. This study aimed to ascertain whether a 6‐second
