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...

Knowledge-based radiation therapy (KBRT) treatment planning versus planning by experts: validation of a KBRT algorithm for prostate cancer treatment planning.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: A knowledge-based radiation therapy (KBRT) treatment planning algorithm was recently developed. The purpose of this work is to investigate how plans that are generated with the objective KBRT approach compare to those that rely on the jud...

Evaluation of a knowledge-based planning solution for head and neck cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Automated and knowledge-based planning techniques aim to reduce variations in plan quality. RapidPlan uses a library consisting of different patient plans to make a model that can predict achievable dose-volume histograms (DVHs) for new pati...

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...

Prediction of the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy using computational intelligence.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are investigated to predict the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy. In the proposed models, the input parameters are field size (...

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...

Comparison of 3D and 4D Monte Carlo optimization in robotic tracking stereotactic body radiotherapy of lung cancer.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
PURPOSE: To investigate the adequacy of three-dimensional (3D) Monte Carlo (MC) optimization (3DMCO) and the potential of four-dimensional (4D) dose renormalization (4DMCrenorm) and optimization (4DMCO) for CyberKnife (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) ra...

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...

Longitudinal evaluation of workflow optimization in radiotherapy: A 4-year retrospective study.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Efficient workflows are essential for timely, high-quality radiotherapy. In 2020, an internal audit identified key workflow bottlenecks, including long patient wait times, suboptimal treatment planning, and inadequate quality control. Acc...
