Bringing online adaptive radiotherapy to a standard C-arm linac.

Current online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) workflows require dedicated equipment. Our aim was to develop and implement an oART workflow for a C-arm linac which can be performed using standard clinically available tools. A workflow was successfully developed and implemented.

Treatment robustness of total body irradiation with volumetric modulated arc therapy.

This study evaluated the robustness of multi-isocenter Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Total Body Irradiation dose distribution in the overlapping region between the head-first and feet-first computed tomography scans, considering the longitudinal isocenter shifts recorded during treatment delivery. For 15 out of 22 patients, the dose distribution in the overlapping region fulfilled all three the robustness criteria. The overlapping region dose distribution of the remaining 7 cases fulfilled two robustness criteria.
