CONCLUSION: We revealed that the RP demonstrated comparable tumor doses to the PP in treatment planning and was robust for respiratory motion compared to both the PP and the VP. However, the organ at risk dose in the RP was slightly higher; therefore, its clinical use should be carefully considered.PMID:38018758 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14217 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Empirical analysis of a plan-of-the-day strategy to approximate daily online reoptimization for prostate CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: POD schemas were able to achieve the vast majority of the dosimetric benefit of daily online ART with a small fraction of the online reoptimization effort. Strategies like this might allow for more practical and strategic implementation of ART so as to benefit a greater number of patients.PMID:38029380 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14221 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

The impact of margin reduction on radiation dose distribution of ultra-hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy utilizing a 1.5-T MR-Linac
CONCLUSIONS: Ultra-hypofractionated MR-guided RT with 1.5 T MRL is dosimetrically feasible for patients with prostate cancer. The improved soft tissue contrast and the online adaptive plan for 1.5 T MR-Linac allows for PTV margin reduction resulted in a significant dose reduction in OARs.PMID:38013636 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14179 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Dosimetric comparison of helical tomotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy in hippocampal avoidance whole-brain radiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the VMAT plan of hippocampal avoidance, HT technology has significant dosimetric advantages. HT plans significantly decreased the radiation dose and radiation volume of OARs surrounding the target area (e.g., surrounding eye lens and eye, especially hippocampal avoidance area) while increasing the CI and HI of PTV dose in whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) greatly, thus enabling the decrease in the incidence rate of radioactive nerve function impairment.PMID:38013656 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14218 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Multi-planner validation of RapidPlan knowledge-based model for volumetric modulated arc therapy in prostate cancer
CONCLUSION: The automated plans of the RP model might benefit from further fine-tuning of the dose constraints of the normal organs, although both procedure plans are acceptable and fulfill the clinical protocol goals so that the RP model can enhance the efficacy and quality of plans.PMID:38009569 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14223 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Influence of magnetic field on a novel scintillation dosimeter in a 1.5 T MR-linac
J Appl Clin Med Phys. 2023 Nov 27:e14180. doi: 10.1002/acm2.14180. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor commissioning and quality assurance for adaptive workflows on the MR-linac, a dosimeter which can measure time-resolved dose during MR image acquisition is desired. The Blue Physics model 10 scintillation dosimeter is potentially an ideal detector for such measurements. However, some detectors can be influenced by the magnetic field of the MR-linac. To assess the calibration methods and magnetic field dependency of the Blue Physics scintillator in the 1.5 T MR-linac. Several calibration methods were assessed for robustness....
