Article Synopsis
- Cannabis sativa is a versatile plant with many therapeutic benefits, and scientists want to study its different types to help create better treatments for people.
- A study in Colombia looked at 156 cannabis plants and found a lot of differences in the compounds they produce, especially in various climates.
- The research shows that Colombia could be an important place for growing cannabis with unique qualities, which could help in both medicine and recreational use around the world.
Proton radiotherapy (PT) requires accurate target alignment before each treatment fraction, ideally utilizing 3D in-room X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging. Typically, the optimal patient position is determined based on anatomical landmarks or implanted markers. In the presence of non-rigid anatomical changes, however, the planning scenario cannot be exactly reproduced and positioning should rather aim at finding the optimal position in terms of the actually applied dose.

In the presence of non-rigid anatomical changes, it is often not obvious which patient position is most suitable. Thus, dose-guided patient alignment is an interesting approach to use available in-room imaging data for up-to-date dose calculation, aimed at finding the position that yields the optimal dose distribution.
