Use of artificial neural networks to predict the probability of developing new cerebral metastases after radiosurgery alone.

Journal of neurosurgical sciences
BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to predict the probability of developing new cerebral metastases after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR) alone in patients with 1-3 brain metastases by artificial neural network (ANN) model.

Investigating the clinical advantages of a robotic linac equipped with a multileaf collimator in the treatment of brain and prostate cancer patients.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a commercially avail-able CyberKnife system with a multileaf collimator (CK-MLC) for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and standard fractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) ...

Robotic radiosurgery system patient-specific QA for extracranial treatments using the planar ion chamber array and the cylindrical diode array.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Robotic radiosurgery system has been increasingly employed for extracranial treatments. This work is aimed to study the feasibility of a cylindrical diode array and a planar ion chamber array for patient-specific QA with this robotic radiosurgery sys...

Film-based 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: Robotic radiosurgery demands comprehensive delivery quality assurance (DQA), but guidelines for commissioning of the DQA method is missing. We investigated the stability and sensitivity of our film-based DQA method with various test scenario...

Development of system using beam's eye view images to measure respiratory motion tracking errors in image-guided robotic radiosurgery system.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
The accuracy of the CyberKnife Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System (SRTS) is considered to be patient-dependent because the SRTS relies on an individual correlation between the internal tumor position (ITP) and the external marker position (EMP), a...

Intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery with an adapted linear accelerator vs. robotic radiosurgery: Comparison of dosimetric treatment plan quality.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stereotactic radiosurgery with an adapted linear accelerator (linac-SRS) is an established therapy option for brain metastases, benign brain tumors, and arteriovenous malformations. We intended to investigate whether the dosim...

The implementation of artificial intelligence in serial monitoring of post gamma knife vestibular schwannomas: A pilot study.

Clinical imaging
BACKGROUND: Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumors that can lead to hearing loss, balance issues, and tinnitus. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKS) is a common treatment for VS, aimed at halting tumor growth and preserving neurological function. Ac...

Validation and Derivation of miRNA-Based Germline Signatures Predicting Radiation Toxicity in Prostate Cancer.

Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research
PURPOSE: Although radiotherapy (RT) is one of the primary treatment modalities used in the treatment of cancer, patients often experience toxicity during or after treatment. RT-induced genitourinary (GU) toxicity is a significant survivorship challen...
