Clinical commissioning of an adaptive radiotherapy platform: Results and recommendations

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Online adaptive radiotherapy platforms present a unique challenge for commissioning as guidance is lacking and specialized adaptive equipment, such as deformable phantoms, are rare. We designed a novel adaptive commissioning process consisting of end‐to‐end tests using standard clinical resources.

Effect of different noise reduction techniques and template matching parameters on markerless tumor tracking using dual‐energy imaging

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the impact of various noise reduction algorithms and template matching parameters on the accuracy of markerless tumor tracking (MTT) using dual‐energy (DE) imaging. Methods A Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator was used to acquire a series of alternating 60 and 120 kVp images (over a 180° arc) using fast kV switching, on ...

Unmasking the mask studies: why the effectiveness of surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections has been underestimated [PDF]

Journal of Travel Medicine 28 (7), taab144 (2021), 2021
Face masks have been widely used as a protective measure against COVID-19. However, pre-pandemic empirical studies have produced mixed statistical results on the effectiveness of masks against respiratory viruses. The implications of the studies' recognized limitations have not been quantitatively and statistically analyzed, leading to confusion ...

Grouping Similar Seismocardiographic Signals Using Respiratory Information [PDF]

Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology (2017) 1-6, 2017
Seismocardiography (SCG) offers a potential non-invasive method for cardiac monitoring. Quantification of the effects of different physiological conditions on SCG can lead to enhanced understanding of SCG genesis, and may explain how some cardiac pathologies may affect SCG morphology.

Primary intrapulmonary thymoma a case report

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Primary intrapulmonary thymoma (PIT), defined as the presence of thymoma tissue in the lung without an accompanying mediastinal component, is uncommon and so offers a diagnostic quandary. We describe the case of PIT in an 81‐year‐old man.
