Clinical Outcomes of Online Adaptive Magnetic Resonance-Guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy of Adrenal Metastases from a Single Institution.

(1) Background: Recent publications foster stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with adrenal oligometastases or oligoprogression. However, local control (LC) after non-adaptive SBRT shows the potential for improvement. Online adaptive MR-guided SBRT (MRgSBRT) improves tumor coverage and organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing.

Intrafraction organ movement in adaptive MR-guided radiotherapy of abdominal lesions - dosimetric impact and how to detect its extent in advance.

Introduction: Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) allows daily adaptation of treatment plans to compensate for positional changes of target volumes and organs at risk (OARs). However, current adaptation times are relatively long and organ movement occurring during the adaptation process might offset the benefit gained by adaptation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric impact of these intrafractional changes.

Impact of daily plan adaptation on accumulated doses in ultra-hypofractionated magnetic resonance-guided radiation therapy of prostate cancer.

Background And Purpose: Ultra-hypofractionated online adaptive magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) is promising for prostate cancer. However, the impact of online adaptation on target coverage and organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing at the level of accumulated dose has not yet been reported. Using deformable image registration (DIR)-based accumulation, we compared the delivered adapted dose with the simulated non-adapted dose.

Dosimetric benefit of online treatment plan adaptation in stereotactic ultrahypofractionated MR-guided radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.

Background: Apart from superior soft tissue contrast, MR-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) offers the chance for daily online plan adaptation. This study reports on the comparison of dose parameters before and after online plan adaptation in MR-guided SBRT of localized prostate cancer.

Materials And Methods: 32 consecutive patients treated with ultrahypofractionated SBRT for localized prostate cancer within the prospective SMILE trial underwent a planning process for MR-guided radiotherapy with 37.

Evaluation of 2D ion chamber arrays for patient specific quality assurance using a static phantom at a 0.35 T MR-Linac.

Introduction: Patient specific quality assurance (QA) in MR-Linacs can be performed with MR-compatible ion chamber arrays. However, the presence of a static magnetic field can alter the angular response of such arrays substantially. This works investigates the suitability of two ion chamber arrays, an air-filled and a liquid-filled array, for patient specific QA at a 0.
