Dosimetric effect of silicone‐based gel on skin surface during volumetric modulated arc therapy for breast cancer

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to quantify and compare the dosimetric effects of varying thicknesses of StrataXRT, a silicone‐based gel, and other topical agents on the skin surface during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for breast cancer.

Facilitating 1.5T MR‐Linac adoption: Workflow strategies and practical tips

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers new opportunities but also introduces workflow complexities requiring dedicated optimization. Implementing magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR‐Linac) technology comes with challenges such as prolonged treatment times and workflow integration issues.

Quantification and dosimetric impact of intra‐fractional bladder changes during CBCT‐guided online adaptive radiotherapy for pelvic cancer treatments

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study quantitatively evaluates bladder changes and their dosimetric impact during the on‐couch adaptive process on a commercial CBCT‐based online adaptive radiotherapy (CT‐gART) platform. Methods Data from 183 fractions of ten patients receiving online ART for pelvic cancers were analyzed retrospectively.

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 ...

Development of a generic focal spot measurement method suitable for bore‐type linacs

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose In linear accelerators, deviations in the x‐ray focal spot position significantly affect the accuracy of radiation therapy. However, as the focal spot position in bore‐type linac systems such as the Radixact system, cannot be assessed using conventional methods, a new evaluation method is required.

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.
