Background: Being a proven method in trauma and spine surgery, intraoperative 3D imaging (CBCT) has intrinsic deficits in difficult anatomy and with artifacts because of metal implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) in acetabular surgery.
Methods: Ten cases of acetabular fractures that were operated with intraoperative use of the mobile CT scanner Brainlab Airo were analyzed. Data were compared with a historical group of 17 patients.
Results: Additional fluoroscopy time was 24.2 seconds (6-91), which was significantly lower than in the control group where it was 211.4 seconds (77-446; P < 0.000). Operation time did not differ significantly (iCT group 196.8 min [122-288], control group 240.8 min [71-411], P = 0.234).
Conclusion: iCT provides images of a reliable high quality and assessability. Radiation exposure to the staff is reduced while surgery time is not altered significantly. Quality of intraoperative imaging and thus patient care can substantially improve patient outcome.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess current treatment practices for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) among Italian clinicians, especially regarding the use of radiation therapy.
- The survey involved 225 cancer care professionals, with 90 responding, mainly radiation oncologists with significant experience; the results highlighted a preference for combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy and the common use of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI).
- The findings revealed variability in treatment approaches for ES-SCLC, indicating a need for further clinical trials and improved multidisciplinary strategies for managing these patients.

Multi-modal therapies for gynecological cancers management may determine a wide range of side effects which depend on therapy-related factors and patient characteristics and comorbidities. Curative or adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy is linked with acute and late toxicity due to irradiation of organs at risk, as small and large bowel, rectum, bladder, pelvic bone, vagina and bone marrow. Successful toxicity management varies with its severity, Radiation Centre practice and experience and skills of radiation oncologists.

Background: The use of intraoperative CT navigation to manage osteoid osteoma is not common. We report our experience managing osteoid osteoma in the appendicular skeleton using an intraoperative AIRO CT navigation system.
Materials & Methods: Between May 2013 and December 2022, 59 patients underwent Navigation-assisted excision of osteoid osteoma in the appendicular skeleton.

Purpose: To provide straightforward instructions for daily practice in delineating emerging organs-at-risk (OARs) of the female pelvis and to discuss the interobserver variability in a two-step multicenter study.
Methods And Materials: A contouring atlas with anatomical boundaries for each emerging OAR was realized by radiation oncologists and radiologists who are experts in pelvic imaging, as per their knowledge and clinical practice. These contours were identified as quality benchmarks for the analysis subsequently carried out.
