Improved organ sparing using auto‐planned Stanford volumetric modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation technique

Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2023
To evaluate dosimetric differences between auto‐planned volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) total body irradiation (TBI) technique and two‐dimensional radiotherapy using anterior‐posterial/posterio‐anterial beams (2D AP/PA) TBI technique.

Single‐photon emission computed tomography‐defined active bone marrow‐sparing volumetric‐modulated arc therapy reduces the incidence of acute hematologic toxicity in locally advanced cervical cancer patients who receive chemoradiotherapy: A single‐center prospective randomized controlled trial

Cancer, 2023
This study aims to test the efficacy of single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)‐defined active bone marrow‐sparing (ABMS) volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in reducing grade 3+ acute hematologic toxicity (HT) in locally advanced cervical

Volumetric modulated arc therapy total body irradiation in pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients undergoing stem cell transplantation: Early outcomes and toxicities

Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2022
Total body irradiation (TBI) is an important component of many conditioning regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), most commonly used in pediatric and adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients.

Modulation indices for volumetric modulated arc therapy

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2014
The aim of this study is to present a modulation index (MI) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based on the speed and acceleration analysis of modulating-parameters such as multi-leaf collimator (MLC) movements, gantry rotation and dose-rate, comprehensively.

Error detection model developed using a multi-task convolutional neural network in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric-modulated arc therapy.

Medical Physics (Lancaster), 2021
PURPOSE In patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for static beam intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), machine-learning-based dose analysis methods have been developed to identify the cause of an error as an alternative to gamma analysis ...

Clinical Applications of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2010
To present treatment planning case studies for several treatment sites for which volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) could have a positive impact; and to share an initial clinical experience with VMAT for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).Four case studies are presented to show the potential benefit of VMAT compared with conformal and intensity-

Radiosurgery treatment planning using conformal arc informed volumetric modulated arc therapy

Medical Dosimetry, 2021
Linac based radiosurgery to multiple metastases is commonly planned with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) as it effectively achieves high conformality to complex target arrangements. However, as the number of targets increases, VMAT can struggle to block between targets, which can lead to highly modulated and/or nonconformal multi-leaf ...
