The adaptation and investigation of cone-beam CT reconstruction algorithms for horizontal rotation fixed-gantry scans of rabbits.
Published 2021Fixed-gantry radiation therapy has been proposed as a low-cost alternative to the conventional rotating-gantry radiation therapy, that may help meet the rising global treatment demand. Fixed-gantry systems require gravitational ...Open AccessArticle -
Magnetic modeling of actively shielded rotating MRI magnets in the presence of environmental steel.
Published 2021Rotating MRI systems could enable novel integrated medical devices such as MRI-Linacs, MRI-xray-angiography systems, and MRI-proton therapy systems. This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of rotating actively ...Open AccessArticle -
Dose-based optimisation for multi-leaf collimator tracking during radiation therapy.
Published 2021Motion in the patient anatomy causes a reduction in dose delivered to the target, while increasing dose to healthy tissue. Multi-leaf collimator (MLC) tracking has been clinically implemented to adapt dose delivery to ...Open AccessArticle -
Adapting to the motion of multiple independent targets using multileaf collimator tracking for locally advanced prostate cancer: Proof of principle simulation study.
Published 2021Purpose: For patients with locally advanced cancer, multiple targets are treated simultaneously with radiotherapy. Differential motion between targets can compromise the treatment accuracy, yet there are currently no methods ...Open AccessArticle -
Pre-treatment and real-time image guidance for a fixed-beam radiotherapy system.
Published 2021Purpose: A radiotherapy system with a fixed treatment beam and a rotating patient positioning system could be smaller, more robust and more cost effective compared to conventional rotating gantry systems. However, patient ...Open AccessArticle
