Abstract Background Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) with dose escalation is increasingly used for pancreatic cancer; however, the dosimetric impact of metallic biliary stents remains poorly characterized. Self‐expanding metal stents (SEMS), commonly placed for obstructive jaundice, contain high‐density nitinol that produces computed ...

Abstract Background Stereotactic Centralized Ablative Radiation Therapy (SCART) is a spatially fractionated radiotherapy strategy designed for large or bulky tumors by delivering an intensified ablative dose to a centrally located subvolume while allowing controlled dose reduction toward the tumor periphery.

Abstract Background Radiotherapy for vulvar carcinoma often employs the “frog‐leg” position to minimize skin toxicity, but this position is biomechanically unstable and prone to setup errors using conventional skin markings. Purpose To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Surface‐Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) for setup accuracy in vulvar cancer patients ...

VMAT - volumetrična modulirana ločna terapija
Volumetrična modulirana ločna terapija (angl. Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, VMAT) je ena izmed najsodobnejših obsevalnih tehnik, ki jo od marca 2011 uporabljamo tudi v Sektorju radioterapije na Onkološkem inštitutu v Ljubljani. Temeljna značilnost VMAT je, da linearni pospeševalnik seva fotonski snop ves čas kroženja glave obsevalnika okoli ...

Abstract Background Accurate dose deposition in superficial radiotherapy remains challenging due to the inherent skin‐sparing effect of megavoltage photon beams and difficulties in ensuring bolus conformity. Purpose This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of the room‐temperature‐malleable high‐density bolus, to ...

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

Abstract Background The current standard radiotherapy treatment planning workflow typically requires several hours to days, during which patients must wait before treatment can be initiated. In certain oncological situations, however, treatment should commence as soon as possible.
