Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
Published 2021This chapter provides guidance on managing unhealthy alcohol use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This includes care of those who are drinking above recommended limits, whether or not there is an ...Open AccessBook chapter -
The Accuracy and Precision of the KIM Motion Monitoring System Used in the Multi-Institutional TROG 15.01 Stereotactic Prostate Ablative Radiotherapy With KIM (SPARK) Trial
Published 2019-01-01Purpose: Kilovoltage intrafraction monitoring (KIM) allows for real-time image guidance for tracking tumor motion in six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) on a standard linear accelerator. This study assessed the geometric accuracy ...Open AccessArticle -
Alcohol Withdrawal
Published 2021Alcohol withdrawal is a syndrome occurring in people with longstanding high risk drinking who either stop or substantially decrease alcohol consumption. The symptoms include adrenergic overactivity, central nervous system ...Open AccessBook chapter -
Anatomical Deformation Due to Horizontal Rotation: Towards Gantry-Free Radiation Therapy
Published 2019-01-01Gantry-free radiation therapy systems may be simpler and more cost effective, particularly for MRI-guided photon or hadron therapy. This study aims to understand and quantify anatomical deformations caused by horizontal ...Open AccessArticle -
Asking young Aboriginal people who use illicit drugs about their healthcare preferences using audio-computer-assisted self-interviewing
Published 2019Introduction and Aims Substance use significantly contributes to increasing the disease burden experienced by young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) Australians. Little is known about the primary ...Open AccessArticle -
Assessment of inter-laboratory differences in SARS-CoV-2 consensus genome assemblies between public health laboratories in Australia
Published 2021Abstract Whole-genome sequencing of viral isolates is critical for informing transmission patterns and ongoing evolution of pathogens, especially during a pandemic. However, when genomes have low variability in the early ...Preprint -

Coming of age: 21 years providing opioid substitution treatment within an Aboriginal community-controlled primary health service
Published 2021In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled health services have been established since 1971 to provide accessible, quality and culturally-appropriate primary healthcare. The first of these ...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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
