Dosimetric validation for an automatic brain metastases planning software using single-isocenter dynamic conformal arcsDosimetric validation for an automatic brain metastases planning software using single-isocenter dynamic conformal arcs. [PDF]

, 2016
An automatic brain-metastases planning (ABMP) software has been installed in our institution. It is dedicated for treating multiple brain metastases with radiosurgery on linear accelerators (linacs) using a single-setup isocenter with noncoplanar dynamic

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 ...

Advances in mucosal injury mechanisms in radiation‐induced esophagitis associated with thoracic radiotherapy

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
There is no specific therapeutic drug regimen for radiation esophagitis. In previous studies, radiation esophagitis was considered a self‐limiting disease; however, current clinical approaches are limited to symptomatic treatment, which yields unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes.

Estimating the Carbon Footprint of External Beam Radiotherapy: Should This Be a Concern for LMICs?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aims to estimate the carbon footprint associated with external beam radiotherapy in a low‐ and middle‐income country (LMIC) context, specifically at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI), and to evaluate whether sustainability should be a priority alongside treatment access in such radiation therapy settings.
