Article Synopsis
- PreciseART is an adaptive radiation therapy software integrated into the Precision treatment planning system that monitors dose variations during cancer treatment.
- The study compared PreciseART’s automatic dose recalculation with a traditional treatment planning system, finding no significant differences in accuracy for both phantom and patient studies.
- The notification system of PreciseART effectively alerts users about dose compliance, confirming its usefulness in clinical adaptive radiation therapy.
Article Synopsis
- The study tracked 12 years of a quality assurance program in radiation oncology to enhance patient safety and reduce treatment errors.
- The Quality Assurance Program (QUAPRO) included a three-step process to identify near-misses during the treatment phases and transitioned to an electronic system by 2017 for better tracking.
- Results showed that while the rate of near misses initially fluctuated, the integration of electronic records improved detection, ultimately leading to a significant decrease in near misses due to enhancements in the workflow.
Background: With full access to both helical tomotherapy (HT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), we compared locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) treatment plans and verified the plans using patient-specific pretreatment quality assurance (PSQA).
Materials And Methods: For each of the seventeen patients included in the study, two treatment plans (i.e.
Background: Left-sided post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) certainly precedes some radiation dose to the cardiopulmonary organs causing many side effects. To reduce the cardiopulmonary dose, we created a new option of the breathing adapted technique by using abdominal compression applied with a patient in deep inspiration phase utilizing shallow breathing. This study aimed to compare the use of abdominal compression with shallow breathing (ACSB) with the free breathing (FB) technique in the left-sided PMRT.

Such issues may degrade the deformable image registration accuracy. This study evaluates the deformable image registration from kilovoltage to megavoltage images when using different deformation methods and assessing nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient images.
