Ninety-degree angled collimator: a dosimetric study related to dynamic intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with endometrial carcinoma

BMC Cancer, 2023
Background Our purpose was to ensure that the dose constraints of the organs at risk (OARs) were not exceeded while increasing the prescription dose to the planning target volume (PTV) from 45 to 50.4 Gray (Gy) with the dynamic intensity-modulated ...

Assessing the role of volumetric‐modulated arc therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2013
The role of volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential clinical role of VMAT compared with three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT) for liver irradiation.

Twelve‐Month Outcomes of a Preventive Dysphagia Intervention in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer—A Randomized Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Radiation‐associated dysphagia is common after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer and may occur early or years later. The effect of preventive exercises might be undermined by poor adherence. Aim To evaluate the effect of a simple preventive exercise protocol on swallowing function up to 12 months after radiotherapy.

Quality assurance of dynamic parameters in volumetric modulated arc therapy [PDF]

The British Journal of Radiology, 2012
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate quality assurance checks for accuracy of gantry speed and position, dose rate and multileaf collimator (MLC) speed and position for a volumetric modulated arc treatment (VMAT) modality (Synergy S; Elekta, Stockholm, Sweden), and to check that all the necessary variables and parameters were synchronous.Three ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

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
