Experimental verification of dose enhancement effects in a lung phantom from inline magnetic fields.
Published 2017-12-01BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To present experimental evidence of lung dose enhancement effects caused by strong inline magnetic fields. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A permanent magnet device was utilised to generate 0.95T-1.2T magnetic ...Open AccessArticle -
IGRT and motion management during lung SBRT delivery.
Published 2017-12-01Patient motion can cause misalignment of the tumour and toxicities to the healthy lung tissue during lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Any deviations from the reference setup can miss the target and have ...Open AccessArticle -
An interdimensional correlation framework for real-time estimation of six degree of freedom target motion using a single x-ray imager during radiotherapy.
Published 2017-12-01Increasing evidence suggests that intrafraction tumour motion monitoring needs to include both 3D translations and 3D rotations. Presently, methods to estimate the rotation motion require the 3D translation of the target ...Open AccessArticle -
Performance assessment of a programmable five degrees-of-freedom motion platform for quality assurance of motion management techniques in radiotherapy.
Published 2017-09-01Inter-fraction and intra-fraction motion management methods are increasingly applied clinically and require the development of advanced motion platforms to facilitate testing and quality assurance program development. The ...Open AccessArticle -
Commissioning and quality assurance for VMAT delivery systems: An efficient time-resolved system using real-time EPID imaging.
Published 2017-08-01PURPOSE: An ideal commissioning and quality assurance (QA) program for Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) delivery systems should assess the performance of each individual dynamic component as a function of gantry ...Open AccessArticle
