Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid Gel Rectal Spacers in MRI‐Guided Brachytherapy for Gynaecological Cancers: A Prospective Feasibility Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This prospective study investigated the feasibility of stabilised hyaluronic acid gel as a rectal spacer in gynaecological cancer brachytherapy. In twelve patients, the spacer was successfully inserted into the rectovaginal space without serious adverse events, had high visibility on MRI, increased the target‐to‐rectum distance compared with no spacer ...

Whole breast and regional nodal irradiation in prone versus supine position in left sided breast cancer [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) leads to reduced heart and lung doses in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. In this feasibility trial, we investigated the prone position for whole breast + lymph node irradiation (WB +

Comparative Evaluation of Four Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Approaches for Treatment of Posterior Choroidal Melanoma

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated four stereotactic radiosurgery planning approaches for posterior choroidal melanoma (CM). Analysis of thirteen CM cases resulted in a clinically meaningful reduction in dose to the brain for Brainlab Elements modulated arcs (BE) and Varian Eclipse HyperArc modulated arcs (HA) compared to Brainlab iPlan dynamic conformal arc therapy

Technique considerations for implementing volumetric‐modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation within an Australian tertiary institution

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 165-172, March 2025.
In 2020, our institution transitioned to the Eclipse™ treatment planning system and to Truebeam® linear accelerators with 6 MV and 10 MV energies. The linear accelerators were installed in smaller bunkers that could not accommodate 400 cm FAD. A multidisciplinary team within the institution was created to evaluate existing total body irradiation ...

HID-1 controls formation of large dense core vesicles by influencing cargo sorting and trans-Golgi network acidification [PDF]

, 2017
Large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) mediate the regulated release of neuropeptides and peptide hormones. They form at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), where their soluble content aggregates to form a dense core, but the mechanisms controlling biogenesis are ...

Assessing dose rate distributions in VMAT plans [PDF]

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2016
Dose rate is an essential factor in radiobiology. As modern radiotherapy delivery techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) introduce dynamic modulation of the dose rate, it is important to assess the changes in dose rate. Both the rate of monitor units per minute (MU rate) and collimation are varied over the course of a fraction ...

Comparison of Auto‐Contouring Tools for Delineation of Normal Organs at Risk in Paediatric Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Contouring organs at risk (OARs) manually in paediatric patients undergoing cranial‐spinal radiation therapy (CSI) is a time‐consuming, labour‐intensive task. This study aims to assess the accuracy and clinical acceptability of auto‐contours produced by the Siemens DirectORGANS auto‐contouring software on paediatric patients receiving CSI treatment ...
