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

Improving Equity of Care for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Patients: Utilising Multilingual Software to Support Breath‐Hold Breast Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A 22% breath‐hold failure and exclusion rate highlighted major communication barriers for CALD breast radiotherapy patients. In response, a multilingual app was developed to deliver translated coaching for DIBH and EBH in seven languages, improving health equity within the local health district through early education, patient‐friendly FAQs, and ...

Dosimetric sensitivity of leaf width on volumetric modulated arc therapy plan quality: an objective approach [PDF]

, 2022
Background: Several authors investigated a dosimetric impact of leaf width on radiotherapy plan quality subjectively, and concluded that thinner leaf-width multileaf collimators (MLC) are beneficial because of their better coverage of clinically relevant

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 ...

Quantification of 10B and 11B in Biological Samples in Translational Science and Clinical Applications for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapy that exploits the selective accumulation of the 10B isotope within tumors, followed by irradiation with low‐energy neutrons to induce high linear energy transfer particles with short path lengths, resulting in localized tumor cell destruction while sparing surrounding healthy ...

Assessment of the robustness of volumetric-modulated arc therapy for lung radiotherapy [PDF]

The British Journal of Radiology, 2013
Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is increasingly popular as a treatment method in radiotherapy owing to the speed with which treatments can be delivered. However, there has been little investigation into the effect of increased modulation in lung plans with regard to interfraction organ motion.
