The use of dose surface maps as a tool to investigate spatial dose delivery accuracy for the rectum during prostate radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: DSMs enabled spatial investigations of planned and delivered doses can uncover associations with interfraction motion that are otherwise masked in DVHs. Investigations of dose delivery accuracy in radiotherapy may benefit from using DSMs over DVHs for certain organs such as the rectum.PMID:38425148 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14314 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

A novel AP/PA total body irradiation technique using abutting IMRT fields at extended SSD
CONCLUSIONS: We have developed a promising TBI technique using abutting IMRT fields at extended SSD. The patient is in a comfortable recumbent position with good reproducibility and less motion during treatment. An additional benefit of this technique is that full 3D dose distribution is available from the TPS with a DVH summary for organs of interest. The technique allows precise sparing of lungs and kidneys and can be executed in any linac room.PMID:38425126 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14213 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Organ-sparing techniques and dose-volume constrains used in breast cancer radiation therapy - Results from European and Latin American surveys
CONCLUSION: The delineation approaches and sparing techniques for OAR in BC RT vary between ROs worldwide. The low response rate to the dose constraints subset of queries reflects the uncertainty surrounding this topic and supports the need for detailed consensus recommendations in the clinical practice.PMID:38425691 | PMC:PMC10900109 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctro.2024.100752 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Technical note: A simple method for patient-specific quality assurance for lateral targets on a 1.5 T MR-Linac
J Appl Clin Med Phys. 2024 Mar 1:e14323. doi: 10.1002/acm2.14323. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Elekta Unity magnetic resonance (MR) linac is limited to longitudinal couch motion and a sagittal-only laser, which restricts the ability to perform patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) measurements for very lateral targets. This work introduces a simple method to perform PSQA using the Sun Nuclear ArcCheck-MR phantom at left and right lateral positions without additional equipment or in-house construction. The proposed setup places the center of the phantom 1.3 cm vertical and 12...
