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 ...Open AccessArticle -
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 ...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
