A target containing phantom for accuracy assessment of cone-beam CT-guided histotripsy
CONCLUSION: The proposed prototype phantom allowed for accurate measurement of treatment size and location, and the CBCT visible target provided a simple way to detect misalignments for preliminary quality assurance of CBCT-guided histotripsy.PMID:38497567 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14329 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Characterization of the IDENTIFY < sup > TM < /sup > surface scanning system for radiation therapy setup on a closed-bore linac
CONCLUSION: The IDENTIFYTM system can adequately be used for motion monitoring on a closed-bore linac with submillimeter accuracy. The results of the performed measurements meet the clinical requirements described in the guidelines of the AAPM and the ESTRO.PMID:38497554 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14326 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Analysis of left ventricle regional myocardial motion for cardiac radioablation: Left ventricular motion analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis provides an estimate of epicardial and endocardial displacement for the 17 segments of the LV for patients with normal and impaired LV function. This reference data can be used to establish treatment planning margin guidelines for cardiac radioablation. Smaller margins may be used for patients with higher degree of impaired heart function, depending on the LV segment.PMID:38493500 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14333 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Evaluation of the availability of single-position treatment with a rotating gantry and the validity of deformable image registration dose assessment for pancreatic cancer carbon-ion radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the GI dose, which suggests that treatment with a simple workflow performed in one position should be clinically acceptable. In CIRT, DIR-based dosimetry should be carefully considered because of the potential for increased uncertainty due to the steep dose distributions.PMID:38478368 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14330 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)
