With the emergence of individualized medicine and the increasing amount and complexity of
available medical data, a growing need exists for the development of clinical decision …

In vivo dosimetry (IVD) is in use in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to detect major errors,
to assess clinically relevant differences between planned and delivered dose, to record …

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) poses a number of challenges for properly
measuring commissioning data and quality assurance (QA) radiation dose distributions. This …

A paradigm shift from current population based medicine to personalized and participative
medicine is underway. This transition is being supported by the development of clinical …

Purpose: Radiation treatments are trending toward delivering higher doses per fraction
under stereotactic radiosurgery and hypofractionated treatment regimens. There is a need …

Purpose: Delivery errors during radiotherapy may lead to medical harm and reduced life
expectancy for patients. Such serious incidents can be avoided by performing dose …

Evidence is accumulating that radiotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer patients can be
optimized by escalating the tumour dose until the normal tissue tolerances are met. To …

Purpose In radiotherapy, dose deficits caused by tumor motion often far outweigh the
discrepancies typically allowed in plan‐specific quality assurance (QA). Yet, tumor motion is …

Purpose: Radiation treatments have become increasingly more complex with the
development of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and the use of stereotactic body …

Atelectasis in lung cancer patients can change rapidly during a treatment course, which may
displace the tumor/healthy tissues, or change tissue densities locally. This may result in …
