Dosimetric Implications of Residual Tracking Errors During Robotic SBRT of Liver Metastases.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Although the metric precision of robotic stereotactic body radiation therapy in the presence of breathing motion is widely known, we investigated the dosimetric implications of breathing phase-related residual tracking errors.

Exploring Value From the Patient's Perspective Between Modern Radiation Therapy Modalities for Localized Prostate Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Patients' perspectives on their treatment experiences have not been compared between modern radiation modalities for localized prostate cancer. We evaluated treatment regret and patients' perceptions of their treatment experiences to better ...

Predictive time-series modeling using artificial neural networks for Linac beam symmetry: an empirical study.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
Over half of cancer patients receive radiotherapy (RT) as partial or full cancer treatment. Daily quality assurance (QA) of RT in cancer treatment closely monitors the performance of the medical linear accelerator (Linac) and is critical for continuo...

Using machine learning to predict radiation pneumonitis in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
To develop a patient-specific 'big data' clinical decision tool to predict pneumonitis in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). 61 features were recorded for 201 consecutive patients wit...

Receiver operating curves and dose-volume analysis of late toxicity with stereotactic body radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve method to determine dose thresholds with late genitourinary (GU) toxicity after stereotactic body radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Robotic ultrasound-guided SBRT of the prostate: feasibility with respect to plan quality.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Advances in radiation therapy delivery systems have enabled motion compensated SBRT of the prostate. A remaining challenge is the integration of fast, non-ionizing volumetric imaging. Recently, robotic ultrasound has been proposed as an intr...

Clinical results of mean GTV dose optimized robotic guided SBRT for liver metastases.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of gross tumor volume (GTV) mean-dose-optimized and real-time motion-compensated robotic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in the treatment of liver metastases.

High resolution ion chamber array delivery quality assurance for robotic radiosurgery: Commissioning and validation.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: High precision radiosurgery demands comprehensive delivery-quality-assurance techniques. The use of a liquid-filled ion-chamber-array for robotic-radiosurgery delivery-quality-assurance was investigated and validated using several test scena...

Inverse treatment planning for spinal robotic radiosurgery: an international multi-institutional benchmark trial.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is the accurate, conformal delivery of high-dose radiation to well-defined targets while minimizing normal structure doses via steep dose gradients. While inverse treatment planning (ITP) with computerized optimization...

Reirradiation using robotic image-guided stereotactic radiotherapy of recurrent head and neck cancer.

Journal of radiation research
The purpose of this study was to examine the prognosis for patients with head and neck cancer after reirradiation using Cyberknife stereotactic body irradiation with special focus on mucosal ulceration. We conducted a retrospective multi-institutiona...
