Clinical, Dosimetric and Radiomic Features Predictive of Lung Toxicity After (Chemo)Radiotherapy.

Background: Treatment of locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) is based on (chemo)radiotherapy, which may cause acute lung toxicity: radiation pneumonitis (RP). Its frequency seems to increase by the use of adjuvant durvalumab therapy.

Aims: To identify clinical, dosimetric, and radiomic factors associated with grade (G)≥2 RP and build a prediction model based on selected parameters.

Virtual Injection Software Reduces Radiation Exposure and Procedural Time of Prostatic Artery Embolization Performed with Cone-Beam CT.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of virtual injection software (VIS) use during cone-beam computed tomography (CT)-guided prostatic artery embolization (PAE) on both patient radiation exposure and procedural time.

Materials And Methods: This institutional review board (IRB)-approved comparative retrospective study analyzed the treatment at a single institution of 131 consecutive patients from January 2020 to May 2022. Cone-beam CT was used with (Group 1, 77/131; 58.

iQMetrix-CT: New software for task-based image quality assessment of phantom CT images.

The purpose of this article was to explain how the new iQMetrix-CT software works, as well as to describe its current potential and discuss its future applications. iQMetrix-CT was developed by a working group from the French Society of Medical Physicists (SFPM). This software calculates three advanced metrics, which have been adapted to take into account the non-linear and non-stationary properties of iterative reconstruction algorithms.

Percutaneous screw fixation of pelvic bone metastases using cone-beam computed tomography navigation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) navigation to achieve percutaneous screw fixation (PSF) of pelvic bone metastases (PBM).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five consecutive patients (12 men and 23 women; mean age, 62 ± 11.3 [SD]; range: 39-89 years) treated between 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively included.

Expandable Intravertebral Implant in Cancer-Related Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Retrospective Review of 36 Implantations.

The purpose of this retrospective review was to evaluate SpineJack implantation in cancer-related vertebral compression fractures in 13 consecutive patients (mean age, 62.8 years ± 18.8).
