Technical Note: The design and function of a horizontal patient rotation system for the purposes of fixed-beam cancer radiotherapy.
Published 2017-06-01PURPOSE: Cancer radiation therapy treatment is performed by delivering a 3D dose distribution to the tumor via the relative rotation between beam and patient. While most modern machines rotate the radiation beam around a ...Open AccessArticle -
Innovations in Radiotherapy Technology.
Published 2017-02-01Many low- and middle-income countries, together with remote and low socioeconomic populations within high-income countries, lack the resources and services to deal with cancer. The challenges in upgrading or introducing ...Open AccessArticle -
Quantification of intrafraction prostate motion and its dosimetric effect on VMAT.
Published 2017-06-01Intrafraction prostate motion degrades the accuracy of radiation therapy (RT) delivery. Whilst a number of metrics in the literature have been used to quantify intrafraction prostate motion, it has not been established ...Open AccessArticle -
The impact of audiovisual biofeedback on 4D functional and anatomic imaging: Results of a lung cancer pilot study.
Published 2016-08-01BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The impact of audiovisual (AV) biofeedback on four dimensional (4D) positron emission tomography (PET) and 4D computed tomography (CT) image quality was investigated in a prospective clinical trial ...Open AccessArticle -
Quantifying the accuracy and precision of a novel real-time 6 degree-of-freedom kilovoltage intrafraction monitoring (KIM) target tracking system.
Published 2017-06-01Target rotation can considerably impact the delivered radiotherapy dose depending on the tumour shape. More accurate tumour pose during radiotherapy treatment can be acquired through tracking in 6 degrees-of-freedom (6 ...Open AccessArticle
