The limited ability to control for the location of a tumour compromises the accuracy with
which radiation can be delivered to tumour-bearing tissue. The resultant requirement for …

Radiation therapy has gone through a series of revolutions in the last few decades and it is
now possible to produce highly conformal radiation dose distribution by using techniques …

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: Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is highly sensitive to range uncertainties
and uncertainties caused by setup variation. The conventional inverse treatment planning of …

The efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been well demonstrated.
However, it presents unique challenges for accurate planning and delivery especially in the …

The success of highly target-conformal treatments such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy
(IMRT) can be compromised by motion of the inner organs and random patient setup errors …

Respiratory motion degrades anatomic position reproducibility during imaging, necessitates
larger margins during radiotherapy planning and causes errors during radiation delivery …

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: To investigate the rate of high-grade treatment-related pneumonitis (TRP) in
patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with concurrent …

Scanned particle beams and target motion interfere. This interplay leads to deterioration of
the dose distribution. Experiments and a treatment planning study were performed to …
