The Spinning Manny Indexed Overlay System for VMAT total body irradiation. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Purpose While modern intensity‐modulated techniques for total body irradiation (TBI) offer superior organ sparing and improved dose coverage compared to conventional TBI, their complexity has limited widespread adoption. Specifically, when treating individuals with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT‐TBI), a transition between the head ...

On the spectral changes of magna-field photon beams used in total body irradiation and impact on dosimetry. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Purpose Accurate dosimetry for magna fields can be challenging when dosimeters exhibit energy dependence. The aim of this work was to use Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to calculate energy spectra of magna photon fields and use the spectral information to derive energy dependence correction factors for commonly used dosimeters.

First experience with third-party validations: A robust calibration and QA procedure for proton FLASH delivery. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Background Proton FLASH radiotherapy, delivering ultra‐high dose rates, shows promise in reducing normal tissue toxicity while maintaining tumor control. However, accurate dosimetry and quality assurance (QA) for FLASH remain challenging due to the extreme dose rates involved.
