A Review of the Australian MRI Linac Program: From Pie in the Sky to Research Milestone.

The Australian Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Linear Accelerator program (MRI linac) was a major research project that aimed to build and test a unique MRI linac prototype for cancer treatment. It aimed to improve radiotherapy anatomical targeting and explore physiological targeting. The purpose of this report is to summarise the development and achievements of the program so as to provide an ex...

Novel method for risk stratification of radiation-induced breast fibrosis: subgroup hypothesis verified by machine learning.

Breast fibrosis (BF) after radiotherapy remains one of the most dreaded late toxicities in breast cancer care, yet multiple additive predictors struggle to capture its underlying biological complexity. Radiation-induced lymphocyte apoptosis (RILA) has recently been associated with the risk of fibrosis more than 10 years post-RT. Here, we show that a combination of five independent factors, RILA, t...

Predicting device-related complications among women undergoing breast implant surgeries.

BACKGROUND: Breast implant surgery is a high-volume procedure, yet predicting device-related complications that require revision surgery remains chall...
