CONCLUSION: We conclude that Virtual Grid with an SW ratio of 6:1 improves the IQ of gridless pelvic radiographs in such a manner that a dose reduction is possible. However, physical grid radiograph ratings are higher compared to those of Virtual Grid radiographs.PMID:38693646 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14353 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Calculation method for novel upright CT scanner isodose curves
CONCLUSION: Aside from the orientation, this upright scanner is very similar to a typical CT scanner, and nothing different for shielding needs to be done for this new upright tilting CT scanner, because an isotropic scatter source is often assumed for any CT scanner.PMID:38695845 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14377 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Feasibility of patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) for real-time robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) based on tumor motion traces
CONCLUSIONS: The significance of this work is that it is the first study to benchmark PSQA for the CyberKnife Synchrony system using realistically moving phantoms with rotation. With reasonable delivery time, we found it may be feasible to perform PSQA for Synchrony patients with a realistic breathing pattern.PMID:38696697 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14352 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Development of a phantom for assessing the precision of setup in skin mark-less surface-guided radiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: The developed phantom was useful for verifying the accuracy of skin mark-less SGRT position matching. The SGRTScan demonstrated the feasibility of achieving skin-mark less SGRT with high accuracy, with deviations of less than 1 mm. Additional research is necessary to evaluate the suitability of the developed phantoms for use in various facilities and systems. This phantom could be used for postal surveys in the future.PMID:38696715 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14381 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Perceptions on and roadblocks to implementation of standardized nomenclature in radiation oncology: A survey from TG-263U1
CONCLUSIONS: While there is strong support and belief in the benefit of standardized nomenclature, the widespread adoption of TG-263 has been hindered by the effort needed by staff for implementation. Feedback from the survey is being utilized to drive the focus of the update efforts and create tools to facilitate easier adoption of TG-263.PMID:38689502 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14359 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

A slope method for the determination of electron energy for quality assurance
CONCLUSION: The slope method does not require precise positioning since the slope remains relatively constant over the descending portion of the curve. Our data show that this results in an easier interpretative test of electron energy stability and delivers reliable feedback for quality assurance.PMID:38685586 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14369 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Tomotherapy in synchronous and metachronous bilateral breast cancer: Clinical experience
CONCLUSION: Our results show the efficacy of using helical Tomotherapy considering positive outcomes, being that three out of four patients are in remission with low acute toxicity and late complications. There are a small number of articles describing bilateral breast cancer treatment with helical Tomotherapy. On this occasion, our data could contribute to the studies of tolerant doses for organs at risk and improve the parameters of treatment plans for bilateral breast cancer. Since the small sample of patients with bilateral breast cancer limits the study, a larger cohort of patients is essential to obtain statistically...

A deep learning-based 3D Prompt-nnUnet model for automatic segmentation in brachytherapy of postoperative endometrial carcinoma
CONCLUSION: The Prompt-nnUnet architecture, particularly the LP, was highly consistent with ground truth (GT) in HR CTV or OAR autosegmentation, reducing interobserver variability and shortening treatment time.PMID:38682540 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14371 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Dosimetric impact of contour editing on CT and MRI deep-learning autosegmentation for brain OARs
CONCLUSIONS: Editing contours before training the DL-AC model had no significant impact on dosimetry. The geometric test metrics were inadequate to estimate the impact of contour inaccuracies on dose. Accordingly, dosimetric analysis is needed to evaluate the clinical applicability of DL-AC models in the brain.PMID:38664894 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14345 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Comparison of failure modes and effects analyses and time for brachytherapy ring and tandem applicator digitization between manual and solid applicator source placement methods
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates the non-inferiority of the solid applicator method to manual digitization in terms of risk, according to QMPs, and time, across all participants. Differences were found in FMEA evaluation and solid applicator technique adoption based on years of brachytherapy experience. Further practice with the solid applicator protocol is recommended because familiarity is expected to lower FMEA occurrence ratings and further reduce digitization times.PMID:38664983 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14336 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)
