CONCLUSIONS: Among the three MIM DIR algorithms, MIM-CC shows the smallest errors in terms of MDA and DSC but exhibits significant Jacobian uncertainties in the interior regions of abdominal organs. The hybrid FEM technique effectively mitigates the Jacobian uncertainties in these regions.PMID:38634799 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14358 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Novel utilization and quantification of Xsight diaphragm tracking for respiratory motion compensation in Cyberknife Synchrony treatment of liver tumors
CONCLUSION: The diaphragm has the potential to serve as an alternative to gold fiducial markers for detecting liver tumors in close proximity or within it. We also found that we needed to reduce the motion amplitude and train the respiration of the patients during liver radiotherapy, as well as control and evaluate their breathing.PMID:38622894 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14341 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Implementation of a programmatic assessment model in radiation oncology medical physics training
CONCLUSIONS: An updated training program for Radiation Oncology Medial Physics registrars/residents was released in Australasia. Scientific content from a previous program was used as a foundation and revised for currency with the ability to accommodate a dynamic curriculum model. A programmatic model of assessment was created after comprehensive review and consultation. This new model of assessment provides more structured, ongoing assessment throughout the training period. It contains allowances for local bespoke assessment, and guidance for supervisors by the provision of marking templates and rubrics.PMID:38620004 | DO...

Characterization of a novel VenusX orthogonal dual-layer multileaf collimator
CONCLUSIONS: The αMLC benefits from its orthogonal dual-layer design. Leaf transmission, dose undulations at the field edge, and MLC field dependence of the leaf stepping angle of the dual-layer αMLC were remarkably reduced.PMID:38620027 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14357 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Design and implementation of automated notification systems and an electronic whiteboard for radiation therapy planning monitoring
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience shows that this system requires minimal human intervention, improves the treatment planning workflow and process by reducing errors and delays in the treatment planning process, positively impacts on-time treatment plan completion, and reduces the need for compressed or rushed treatment planning timelines.PMID:38615273 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14344 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Evaluating automatically generated normal tissue contours for safe use in head and neck and cervical cancer treatment planning
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that dosimetrically equivalent normal tissue contours can be created for HN and cervical cancers using deep learning techniques. In general, differences between the contours did not affect the passing or failing of clinical dose tolerances.PMID:38610118 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14338 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Monte Carlo evaluation of uncertainties in photon and electron TG-51 absorbed dose calibration
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the different methodology and assumptions, the estimated uncertainty in photon beam calibration is close to that in the addendum. The careful user should be able to easily reach a 95% confidence interval (CI) of ± 2.3% for photon beam calibration with standard instrumentation. For electron beams calibrated with a Farmer chamber, the estimated uncertainties are slightly larger, and the 95% CI is ±2.6% for 6 MeV and slightly smaller than this for 18 MeV. There is no clear energy dependence in these results. It is unlikely that the user will be able to improve on these uncertainties as the dominant fact...
