First experimental evaluation of multi-target multileaf collimator tracking during volumetric modulated arc therapy for locally advanced prostate cancer.
Published 2021Purpose: Locally advanced and oligometastatic cancer patients require radiotherapy treatment to multiple independently moving targets. There is no existing commercial solution that can simultaneously track and treat multiple ...Open AccessArticle -
MRI-guided cardiac-induced target motion tracking for atrial fibrillation cardiac radioablation.
Published 2021Background and purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) cardiac radioablation (CR) challenges radiotherapy tracking: multiple small targets close to organs-at-risk undergo rapid differential cardiac contraction and respiratory ...Open AccessArticle -
A review of artificial intelligence applications for motion tracking in radiotherapy.
Published 2021During radiotherapy, the organs and tumour move as a result of the dynamic nature of the body; this is known as intrafraction motion. Intrafraction motion can result in tumour underdose and healthy tissue overdose, thereby ...Open AccessArticle -
Community-based pain programs commissioned by primary health networks: key findings from an online survey and consultation with program managers
Published 2022Objective. There is an increasing demand for tertiary pain services, with long waiting times compounded by limited reach to regional and remote areas. Community-based pain programs are a feasible evidence-based model of ...Open AccessArticle -
Quantification of the geometric uncertainty when using implanted markers as a surrogate for lung tumor motion.
Published 2021Background: Fiducial markers are used as surrogates for tumor location during radiation therapy treatment. Developments in lung fiducial marker and implantation technology have provided a means to insert markers endobronchially ...Open AccessArticle
