Optimising lung imaging for cancer radiation therapy
Published 2020Effective radiotherapy is dependent on being able to (i) visualise the tumour clearly, and (ii) deliver the correct dose to the cancerous tissue, whilst sparing the healthy tissue as much as possible. In the presence of ...Article -
Real-Time Image Guided Ablative Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: Results From the TROG 15.01 SPARK Trial
Published 2020Purpose: Kilovoltage intrafraction monitoring (KIM) is a novel software platform implemented on standard radiation therapy systems and enabling real-time image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). In a multi-institutional ...Article -
Reducing 4D CT imaging artifacts at the source: first experimental results from the respiratory adaptive computed tomography (REACT) system
Published 2020Breathing variations during 4D CT imaging often manifest as geometric irregularities known as respiratory-induced image artifacts and ultimately effect radiotherapy treatment efficacy. To reduce such image artifacts we ...Article -
Is multileaf collimator tracking or gating a better intrafraction motion adaptation strategy? An analysis of the TROG 15.01 stereotactic prostate ablative radiotherapy with KIM (SPARK) trial
Published 2020Purpose: Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) has recently emerged as a favourable treatment option for prostate cancer patients. With higher doses delivered over fewer fractions, motion adaptation is a requirement ...Article -
Toward improved 3D carotid artery imaging with Adaptive CaRdiac cOne BEAm computed Tomography (ACROBEAT)
Published 2020Purpose: Interventional treatments of aneurysms in the carotid artery are increasingly being supplemented with three-dimensional (3D) x-ray imaging. The 3D imaging provides additional information on device sizing and stent ...Article
