Electron contamination modeling and skin dose in 6 MV longitudinal field MRIgRT: Impact of the MRI and MRI fringe field.
Published 2012-02-01Purpose: In recent times, longitudinal field MRI‐linac systems have been proposed for 6 MV MRI‐guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT). The magnetic field is parallel with the beam axis and so will alter the transport properties of ...Open AccessArticle -
Electromagnetic detection and real-time DMLC adaptation to target rotation during radiotherapy.
Published 2012-03-01PURPOSE: Intrafraction rotation of more than 45° and 25° has been observed for lung and prostate tumors, respectively. Such rotation is not routinely adapted to during current radiotherapy, which may compromise tumor dose ...Open AccessArticle -
Reducing 4DCBCT imaging time and dose: the first implementation of variable gantry speed 4DCBCT on a linear accelerator.
Published 2017-06-01Four dimensional cone beam computed tomography (4DCBCT) uses a constant gantry speed and imaging frequency that are independent of the patient's breathing rate. Using a technique called respiratory motion guided 4DCBCT ...Open AccessArticle -
The first patient treatment of computed tomography ventilation functional image-guided radiotherapy for lung cancer.
Published 2016-02-01BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapy that selectively avoids irradiating highly-functional lung regions may reduce pulmonary toxicity. We report on the first clinical implementation and patient treatment of lung functional ...Open AccessArticle -
Determining appropriate imaging parameters for kilovoltage intrafraction monitoring: an experimental phantom study.
Published 2015-06-01Kilovoltage intrafraction monitoring (KIM) utilises the kV imager during treatment for real-time tracking of prostate fiducial markers. However, its effectiveness relies on sufficient image quality for the fiducial tracking ...Open AccessArticle
