Scalp dosimetry as a predictor of radiation-induced alopecia in primary brain tumours: a retrospective study from a tertiary cancer centre in south India

open access: yesJournal of Current Oncology and Medical Sciences
Introduction: Radiotherapy is essential in treating primary brain tumours, but radiation-induced alopecia (RIA) remains a common side effect that significantly affects patients' quality of life (QOL). With its psychosocial impact on self-image, emotional

4D-VMAT dose calculation using treatment-specific respiratory motions

open access: yes, 2018
The interplay between respiration-related tumour motion and modulated treatment delivery such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) could contribute to differences between planned and delivered radiation dose distributions.

VMAT for small cell lung cancer

open access: yes, 2015
Limited stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC-LS) is an aggressive cancer form affecting a relatively small group of patients. The prognosis for these patients is poor, and those who are treated with radiotherapy often develop serious side effects ...

Feasibility of 4D VMAT-CT

Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 2022
Abstract Objective. Feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) tracking of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based on VMAT–computed tomography (VMAT-CT) has been shown previously by our group.

4D VMAT, gated VMAT, and 3D VMAT for stereotactic body radiation therapy in lung

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2013
Four-dimensional volumetric modulated arc therapy (4D VMAT) is a treatment strategy for lung cancers that aims to exploit relative target and tissue motion to improve organ at risk (OAR) sparing. The algorithm incorporates the entire patient respiratory cycle using 4D CT data into the optimization process.

Coplanar VMAT vs. noncoplanar VMAT in the treatment of sinonasal cancer

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, 2014
Previous studies showed that noncoplanar intensity-modulated radiotherapy (NC-IMRT) for sinonasal cancer is superior to coplanar intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a newly introduced treatment modality, and the performance of noncoplanar VMAT for sinonasal cancer has not been well described to date.To ...

Fully automated segmentally boosted VMAT

Medical Physics, 2023
AbstractPurposeTreatment planning for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) typically involves the use of multiple arcs to achieve sufficient intensity modulation. Alternatively, we can perform segment boosting to achieve similar intensity modulation while also reducing the number of control points used. Here, we propose the MetaPlanner Boosted VMAT (
