Dosimetric validation of a magnetic resonance image gated radiotherapy system using a motion phantom and radiochromic film. [PDF]
PurposeMagnetic resonance image (MRI) guided radiotherapy enables gating directly on the target position. We present an evaluation of an MRI-guided radiotherapy system's gating performance using an MRI-compatible respiratory motion phantom and ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

MRI for Lung Cancer Management: Any Closer to Clinical Application?
ABSTRACT Management of lung cancer (LC) encompasses screening, diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy planning and guidance, therapy monitoring and surveillance. Across these domains, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a range of morphological and functional imaging capabilities—including diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE)

Interobserver Reliability in Describing Radiographic Lung Changes After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy [PDF]
Purpose Radiographic lung changes after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) vary widely between patients. Standardized descriptions of acute (≤6 months after treatment) and late (\u3e6 months after treatment) benign lung changes have been proposed

This analysis included quantification of intrafraction motion in pancreas stereotactic ablative radiotherapy treated on the MR‐Linac, leading to the development of adjusted (PTV) margins. Intrafraction motion indicated an average target displacement of 1–3 mm, resulting in an adjusted PTV margin of 2 mm in the right–left and superior–inferior ...
