Background: Primary lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSL) encompasses a variety of lymphoma subtypes, with the majority being diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, which require aggressive systemic treatment. In contrast, low-grade lymphomas are reported infrequently and are mostly limited to dural manifestations. Very rarely, parenchymal low-grade PCNSL is diagnosed, and the cases documented in the literature show a wide variety of treatment approaches.

- This study looks at using a special type of radiation treatment called hybrid volumetric modulated arc therapy (H-VMAT) to treat breast cancer in a safer and more effective way.
- Researchers tested different combinations of H-VMAT and compared them to traditional treatment methods to see which worked best and caused the least damage to healthy organs.
- The results showed that H-VMAT generally provided better coverage of the targeted area and kept nearby organs safer than older methods, especially when using lower energy beams and the right planning techniques.
Objectives: This work aims to investigate whether virtual non-contrast (VNC) dual-energy CT(DECT) of contrasted lung tumours can be used as an alternative for true non-contrast (TNC) images in radiotherapy. Two DECT techniques and a TNC CT were compared and influences on gross tumour volume (GTV) volume and CT number from motion artefacts in three-dimensional printed lung tumour models (LTM) in amotion phantom were examined.
Methods: Two spherical LTMs (diameter 3.
