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...

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy or Protons for Uveal Melanoma Patients? An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Clinical Treatment Decision-Making Tool Predicting Doses To Radiation Therapy Constraints.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: For ocular melanoma, selecting between stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) and protons requires a lengthy plan comparison process. The purpose of this brief report is to describe an artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making tool to predi...

A predictive quality assurance model for patient-specific gamma passing rate of hyperarc-based stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery of brain metastases.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
OBJECTIVE: Measurement-based patient specific quality assurance (PSQA) is an increasingly debated topic among medical physicists. Developments like online adaptive radiotherapy and same-day stereotactic treatments limit the time to do measurement-bas...

Improving risk assessment of local failure in brain metastases patients using vision transformers - A multicentric development and validation study.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study investigates the use of Vision Transformers (ViTs) to predict Freedom from Local Failure (FFLF) in patients with brain metastases using pre-operative MRI scans. The goal is to develop a model that enhances risk stra...

Assessment of outcomes and machine Learning-based models to predict local failure risk following stereotactic radiosurgery for small brain metastases.

Journal of neuro-oncology
INTRODUCTION: We assessed the outcomes of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for small intact brain metastases (SBM) (≤ 2 cm) and developed machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the probability of local failure (LF).

Effects of concurrent HER2-directed therapy on development of cerebral radionecrosis after stereotactic radiotherapy: a systematic review.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
PURPOSE: With increasing use of human epithelial growth factor receptor two (HER2)-targeted therapies, outcomes for numerous breast cancer patients have improved. Nevertheless, patients with HER2-positive tumours face a comparatively heightened risk ...

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...
