Geometric uncertainty analysis of MLC tracking for lung SABR.
Published 2020Purpose: The purpose of this work was to report on the geometric uncertainty for patients treated with multi-leaf collimator (MLC) tracking for lung SABR to verify the accuracy of the system. Methods: Seventeen patients ...Article -
Measurements of human tolerance to horizontal rotation within an MRI scanner: Towards gantry-free radiation therapy.
Published 2021Introduction: Recent advances in image guidance and adaptive radiotherapy could enable gantry-free radiotherapy using patient rotation. Gantry-free radiotherapy could substantially reduce the cost of radiotherapy systems ...Article -
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 ...Article -
Towards real-time 4D radiation dosimetry on an MRI-Linac
Published 20204D radiation dosimetry using a highly radiation-sensitive polymer gel dosimeter with real-time quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) readout is presented as a technique to acquire the accumulated radiation dose ...Article -
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 ...Article
