Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a novel radiation technique, which can achieve
highly conformal dose distributions with improved target volume coverage and sparing of …

In this review, image guidance and motion management in radiotherapy for lung cancer is
discussed. Motion characteristics of lung tumours and image guidance techniques to obtain …

The era of real‐time radiotherapy is upon us. Robotic and gimbaled linac tracking are
clinically established technologies with the clinical realization of couch tracking in …

Purpose A study was performed comparing dosimetric characteristics of volumetric
modulated arcs (RapidArc, RA) and fixed field intensity modulated therapy (IMRT) on …

This study compares the EPID dosimetry algorithms of two commercial systems for
pretreatment QA, and analyzes dosimetric measurements made with each system alongside …

Intrafraction tumour motion is an issue that is of increased interest in the era of image-guided
radiotherapy. It is particularly relevant for non-small cell lung cancer, for which a number of …

Purpose: To develop and implement a failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA)‐based
commissioning and quality assurance framework for dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) …

Tumors in thoracic and upper abdomen regions such as lungs, liver, pancreas, esophagus,
and breast move due to respiration. Respiration-induced motion introduces uncertainties in …

PURPOSE: We report on an integrated system for real-time adaptive radiation delivery to
moving tumors. The system combines two promising technologies—three-dimensional …

Purpose: Advanced high quality radiation therapy techniques such as IMRT require an
accurate delivery of precisely modulated radiation fields to the target volume. Interfractional …
