Commissioning and clinical implementation of an independent dose calculation system for scanned proton beams
CONCLUSION: IDC has been successfully commissioned and integrated into the MedAustron clinical workflow for protons in 2021. IDC has been stepwise and safely substituting experimental PSQA since February 2021. The initial reduction of proton experimental PSQA was about 25% and reached up to 90% after 1 year.PMID:38553788 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14328 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Comprehensive beam delivery latency evaluation for gated proton therapy system using customized multi-channel signal acquisition platform
CONCLUSION: With the developed multi-channel signal acquisition platform, it was able to investigate the gating lags happened in both the respiratory gating system and the proton treatment system. The resolution of the platform is enough to distinguish the delays at the millisecond time level. Both the respiratory gating system and the proton treatment system made contributions to gating latency. Both systems contributed nearly equally to the total beam ON latency, with approximately 100 ms. In contrast, the respiratory gating system was the dominant contributor to the total beam OFF latency.PMID:38551392 | DOI:10.1002/acm...

Technical note: A comparison of physician doses in C-Arm and CT fluoroscopy procedures
CONCLUSIONS: The higher fluoroscopy time in C-Arm procedures leads to a much lower cumulative DAP (i.e., physician scatter dose) in CTF procedures. This result can inform interventional physicians deciding on whether to perform inter-procedural imaging inside the room as opposed to retreating from the room.PMID:38536674 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14335 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Establishment and preliminary application of personalized three-dimensional reconstruction of thyroid gland with automatic detection of thyroid nodules based on ultrasound videos
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report of constructing a 3D thyroid model using a deep learning technique for personalized thyroid segmentation based on 2D ultrasound videos. The preliminary clinical application showed that it was conducive to the comprehension of the location of thyroid nodules for surgeons and patients, with significant improvement on the efficiency of surgeon-patient communication.PMID:38528686 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14332 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Skin marker combined with surface-guided auto-positioning for breast DIBH radiotherapy daily initial patient setup: An optimal schedule for both accuracy and efficiency
CONCLUSION: SGRT one-key calibration was found to be more suitable when followed by skin marker/tattoo and in-room laser positioning, establishing it as an optimal daily initial set-up protocol for breast DIBH radiotherapy. This modality also proved to be suitable for free-breathing breast cancer radiotherapy, and its widespread clinical use is recommended.PMID:38522035 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14319 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)
