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 ...

Traumatic axonal injury in the spinal cord evoked by traumatic brain injury [PDF]

, 2008
Although it is well known that traumatic brain injury (TBI) evokes traumatic axonal injury (TAI) within the brain, TBI-induced axonal damage in the spinal cord (SC) has been less extensively investigated.

Hemangiopericytomas of the spine: case report and review of the literature

Rare Tumors, 2009
We describe a rare case of a primary intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) with late metastasis to the cervical spine. A 36-year-old woman had a left occipital lesion that was histopathologically identified as HPC.

High-resolution investigation of spinal cord and spine [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
High-resolution non-invasive 3D study of intact spine and spinal cord morphology on the level of complex vascular and neuronal organization is a crucial issue for the development of treatments for the injuries and pathologies of central nervous system (CNS). X-ray phase contrast tomography enables high quality 3D visualization in ex-vivo mouse model of

Surface dose analysis and dosimetric comparison of Halcyon versus Truebeam in breast cancer radiotherapy: An OSL dosimetry study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Breast cancer is a neoplastic disease with high prevalence among women. Radiotherapy is one of the principal treatment modalities for this disease, but it poses significant challenges. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the technical and dosimetric performance of conventional C‐arm linac systems and a new design, Halcyon, in the ...

Interfacing peripheral nerve with macro-sieve electrodes following spinal cord injury [PDF]

, 2017
Macro-sieve electrodes were implanted in the sciatic nerve of five adult male Lewis rats following spinal cord injury to assess the ability of the macro-sieve electrode to interface regenerated peripheral nerve fibers post-spinal cord injury. Each spinal

An extension to the OVH concept for knowledge‐based dose volume histogram prediction in lung tumor volumetric‐modulated arc therapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment planning allows a compromise between a sufficient coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) and a simultaneous sparing of organs‐at‐risk (OARs). Particularly in the case of lung tumors, deciding whether it is possible or worth spending more time on further improvements of a treatment
