Background: For the development and validation of dynamic treatment modalities and processes on the MR-linac, independent measurements should be performed that validate dose delivery and linac behavior at a high temporal resolution. To achieve this, a detector with both high temporal and spatial resolution is necessary.
Purpose: This study investigates the suitability of a Delta4 Phantom+ MR (Delta4) detector array for time-resolved dosimetry in the 1.
Inter- and intra-fractional anatomical changes during a radiotherapy treatment can cause differences between the initially planned dose and the delivered dose. The total delivered dose can be accumulated over all fractions by using deformable image registration (DIR). However, there is uncertainty in this process which should be accounted for.

For optimal performance, the primary signal (scintillation) needs to be separated from secondary optical effects (Cerenkov, fluorescence and optical fiber attenuation). This requires a spectral separation approach and careful calibration.

This first-in-human phase I study evaluated safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of sofnobrutinib (formerly AS-0871), a highly selective, orally available, non-covalent BTK inhibitor, in healthy adult subjects. Single ascending doses (SAD; 5-900 mg) and multiple ascending doses (MAD; 50-300 mg twice daily [b.

The data of six healthy volunteers were analyzed and the values of a clinically-relevant registration quality factor metric exported by CMM were presented. Additionally, the CMM-derived prostate motion was compared to a 3D-based reference and the 2D-3D tracking agreement was reported.
