Experimental evaluation of the dosimetric impact of intrafraction prostate rotation using film measurement with a 6DoF robotic arm
Published 2020Purpose: Tumor motion during radiotherapy can cause a reduction in target dose coverage and an increase in healthy tissue exposure. Tumor motion is not strictly translational and often exhibits complex six degree-of-freedom ...Open AccessArticle -
Evaluating reconstruction algorithms for respiratory motion guided acquisition
Published 2020Conventional thoracic 4DCBCT scans take 1320 projections over 4 min. This paper investigates which reconstruction algorithms best leverage Respiratory-Motion-Guided (RMG) acquisition in order to reduce scan time and dose ...Open AccessArticle -
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
