Craniospinal irradiation by volumetric modulated arc therapy technique on halcyon

Journal of Radiation and Cancer Research, 2022
Aims: Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is a challenging task on halcyon due to its field size constraint (28 cm × 28 cm). CSI was planned by volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique on Halcyon (6MV) linac with no junction shift with multiple arcs ...

Intensity modulated radiation therapy versus volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2013
The advanced developments in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) over the past few decades have improved dose conformity to the target while minimizing dose to the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two commonly used EBRT techniques to treat cancer.

The Birmingham Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) project : developments towards selective internal particle therapy [PDF]

, 2011
This paper will review progress on two aspects of the Birmingham BNCT project. Firstly on evaluation of the effects of high and low LET radiations when delivered simultaneously, and secondly on attempts to optimise delivery of the boron carrier compound ...

Fractionated Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (FVMAT) for Oligometastatic Brain Tumor

Onco, 2023
Intracranial metastasis is very common in adult cancer patients with an overall incidence of approximately 10–40%. The most common primary tumors responsible for this in adults are lung and breast cancer.

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 +

Dose verification for respiratory-gated volumetric modulated arc therapy [PDF]

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2011
A novel commercial medical linac system (TrueBeam™, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) allows respiratory-gated volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), a new modality for treating moving tumors with high precision and improved accuracy by allowing for regular motion associated with a patient's breathing during VMAT delivery.
