Over the last decade, dose calculations which solve the linear Boltzmann transport
equations have been introduced into clinical practice and are now in widespread use …

In this study, the performance of a new iterative reconstruction algorithm, the pre-clinical
AcurosXB iCBCT algorithm, has been characterized on Varian Halcyon linear accelerators …

Purpose To show the feasibility of 3D-printed fixation masks for whole brain radiation
therapy in a clinical setting and perform a first comparison to an established thermoplastic …

The method implemented in Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm to convert dose-to-medium (D m) to
dose-to-water (D w) is usually based on the Bragg-Gray cavity theory. Acuros XB (AXB) …

Background Boluses are routinely used in radiotherapy to modify surface doses.
Nevertheless, considerable dose discrepancies may occur in some cases due to fit …

Anthropomorphic phantoms with tissue equivalency are required in radiotherapy for quality
assurance of imaging and dosimetric processes used in radiotherapy treatments …

Background: An increasing number of external beam treatment modalities including intensity
modulated radiation therapy, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and stereotactic …

Abstract Purpose Design of experiments (DoE) provides a methodology to reveal the
influence of input values on the measured output with a limited number of trials. The purpose …

Purpose Three‐dimensional (3D) printing is one of the most promising technologies that can
significantly improve the efficiency of various radiotherapy (RT) procedures. In order to 3D …
