From data to treatment plan: An AI‐driven path for automated breast radiotherapy planning

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in women, with radiotherapy (RT) playing a key role in its treatment. Advances in RT techniques, such as 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D‐CRT) and intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), have improved dose precision and reduced side effects.

VMAT optimization with dynamic collimator rotation

Medical Physics, 2018
PurposeAlthough collimator rotation is an optimization variable that can be exploited for dosimetric advantages, existing Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) optimization uses a fixed collimator angle in each arc and only rotates the collimator between arcs.

Active bone marrow dose reconstruction in a large‐scale cohort study of cancer patients treated with photon radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Previous studies have investigated the dose‐response relationship between external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and leukemia by reconstructing the mean active bone marrow (ABM) dose as part of the exposure assessment. However, no prior study has leveraged electronic medical records (EMR) to reconstruct ABM dose and dose‐volume in an ...

To shift or not to shift: identifying and correcting patient motion after couch rotations in non‐coplanar intracranial radiosurgery with stereoscopic X‐ray imaging

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Frameless linear accelerator (linac)‐based image‐guided stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) are a widely used treatment option for intracranial lesions. Given the high radiation doses involved, it is crucial to maintain precise patient positioning throughout treatment.

An automated method to establish patient specific asymmetric intrafraction motion monitoring tolerances for prostate radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Purpose Intrafraction motion management is recognized as a critical component of radiotherapy. While clinical trials often recommend its use, they rarely define motion management tolerances. Consequently, institutions set tolerance levels independently, often without considering patient specific anatomy, dose distributions or direction of ...

Dosimetric comparison of 3D-conformal radiotherapy, volumetric modulated arc therapy, and h-VMAT in left breast radiotherapy under free-breathing and breath-hold conditions

Scientific Reports
This study investigates the role of the h-VMAT (a hybrid of 3DCRT and VMAT) technique in the Deep Inspirational Breath-Hold (DIBH) method for left-breast irradiation by comparing dosimetric parameters of 3DCRT, VMAT, and h-VMAT plans in free breathing ...

OVH‐guided planning for superior heart and lung sparing in breast cancer radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background and purpose Manual planning in breast cancer radiotherapy is often time‐consuming and operator‐dependent, leading to inconsistencies in plan quality. This study validated an automated workflow using overlap volume histograms (OVH) to predict patient‐specific dose–volume histogram (DVH) constraints, aiming to enhance cardiopulmonary ...
