Radiotherapy (RT) aims to deliver a spatially conformal dose of radiation to tumours while
maximizing the dose sparing to healthy tissues. However, the internal patient anatomy is …

Historically, heart dose from left-sided breast radiotherapy has been associated with a risk of
cardiac injury. Data suggests that there is not a threshold for the deleterious effects from …

The charges on this task group (TG) were as follows:(a) provide specific procedural
guidelines for performing the tests recommended in TG 142;(b) provide estimate of the …

This document is the report of a task group of the AAPM and has been prepared primarily to
advise medical physicists involved in the external‐beam radiation therapy of patients with …

Purpose Standard therapies for localized inoperable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
(IHCC) are ineffective. Advances in radiotherapy (RT) techniques and image guidance have …

Purpose: In this work, three-dimensional (3D) motion of lung tumors during radiotherapy in
real time was investigated. Understanding the behavior of tumor motion in lung tissue to …

Several recent developments in linear accelerator–based radiation therapy (RT) such as fast
multileaf collimators, accelerated intensity modulation paradigms like volumeric modulated …
