Dual cardiac and respiratory gated thoracic imaging via adaptive gantry velocity and projection rate modulation on a linear accelerator: A Proof-of-Concept Simulation Study.
Published 2019-01-01Purpose: Cardiac motion is typically not accounted for during pretreatment imaging for central lung and mediastinal tumors. However, cardiac induced tumor motion averages 5.8 mm for esophageal tumors and 3-5 mm for some ...Open AccessArticle -
Technical Note: The first live treatment on a 1.0 Tesla inline MRI-linac.
Published 2019-01-01Purpose: This work describes the first live imaging and radiation delivery performed on a prototype 1.0 T inline MRI-Linac system in a rat brain tumor model, which was conducted on 29 January 2019. Methods: A human scale ...Open AccessArticle -
See, Think, and Act: Real-Time Adaptive Radiotherapy.
Published 2019-01-01The world is embracing the information age, with real-time data at hand to assist with many decisions. Similarly, in cancer radiotherapy we are inexorably moving toward using information in a smarter and faster fashion, ...Open AccessArticle -
Dosimetric impact of intrafraction rotations in stereotactic prostate radiotherapy: A subset analysis of the TROG 15.01 SPARK trial.
Published 2019-01-01Background and purpose: Accurate delivery of radiotherapy is critical to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Interfraction translational IGRT is now standard, and intrafraction motion management is becoming accessible. ...Open AccessArticle -
Imaging of regional ventilation: Is CT ventilation imaging the answer? A systematic review of the validation data.
Published 2019-01-01Computed Tomography Ventilation Imaging (CTVI) is an experimental imaging modality that derives regional lung function information from non-contrast respiratory-correlated CT datasets. Despite CTVI being extensively studied ...Open AccessArticle
