Application of an updated severity‐based FMEA approach to Radiation Therapy QA: A multi‐institutional exercise

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background External beam radiation therapy (RT) involves many complex steps to safely and reliably treat patients. The radiation oncology community has adopted process maps and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to analyze risk using the TG‑100 methodology, but the traditional TG‑100–endorsed risk priority number (RPN) has recognized ...

Radiological changes in renal cell carcinoma after extracorporeal CyberKnife® radiosurgical ablation: a case report [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo), 2009
Small asymptomatic renal masses are more commonly discovered in elderly patients; however, multiple comorbidities in this population may preclude definitive surgical treatment.

Evaluation of dosimetric impact and plan robustness of MLC motion and setup errors in SRS for multiple brain metastases

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background HyperArc is an effective technique for treating multiple small brain metastases using high‐definition, precise radiation. However, the small size of individual lesions makes treatment vulnerable to inherent inaccuracies from beam‐limiting devices such as multi‐leaf collimators (MLCs), as well as patient setup errors.

Accelerated and standardized commissioning of a robotic RadioSurgery system using a hybrid golden beam data model

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background The CyberKnife™ system requires extensive beam data acquisition across multiple collimation systems. The CyberComm™ framework integrates a linac output tuning procedure with a hybrid Golden Beam Data (GBD) model to accelerate and standardize CyberKnife commissioning while maintaining dosimetric accuracy.

Performance evaluation of a new type of commercial silicon detectors for photon beam dosimetry

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Modern radiotherapy relies on advanced treatment techniques that utilize a large number of small fields, for which maintaining dosimetric accuracy is often challenging. Most vendors have introduced microdetectors suitable for small field dosimetry. Sun Nuclear has developed two silicon diodes with a sensitive volume of 0.35 mm3 that

Assessment of 6MV flattening filter free (FFF) beam commissioning parameters for Versa HD and TrueBeam: A comparison study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Flattening filter‐free (FFF) beams are increasingly deployed for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The Elekta Versa HD (VHD) and Varian TrueBeam (TB) are the two most widely used FFF‐capable platforms; however, no prior study has compared their 6 MV FFF commissioning parameters under fully ...

A preference‐integrated optimization system for medical physics shift scheduling

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Clinical shift scheduling for medical physicists is challenging given multidisciplinary roles and competing clinical, research, and service demands. Manual workflows often lack the flexibility and transparency needed for this complex field.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Acromegaly

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012
Acromegaly is debilitating disease occasionally refractory to surgical and medical treatment. Stereotactic radiosurgery, and in particular Gamma Knife surgery (GKS), has proven to be an effective noninvasive adjunct to traditional treatments, leading to ...
