Background: Various methods exist to correct for intrafraction motion (IFM) of the prostate during radiotherapy. We sought to characterize setup corrections in our practice informed by the TrueBeam Advanced imaging package, and analyze factors associated with IFM.
Methods: 132 men received radiation therapy for prostate cancer with a volumetric modulated arc therapy technique.

Introduction: Extraarticular deformity (EAD) with knee arthritis is a complex condition involving tri-planar bone deformity with pathological malalignment and chronic soft tissue contracture or laxity in the knee joint. Intraarticular correction by TKA, which was previously performed with conventional manual jig by mechanical alignment technique, had its limits and difficulties especially extensive soft tissue release and risk of jeopardizing the collateral ligaments. Robotic technology allows for reproducible and precise execution of surgical plan and allows adjustment to various new personalised alignment philosophy including functional alignment (FA).

Introduction: This paper describes a method to improve gantry-dependent beam steering for Elekta traveling wave linear accelerators by applying the measured and filtered beam servo corrections to the existing lookup table (LUT). Beam steering has a direct influence on the treatment accuracy by affecting the beam symmetry and position. The presented method provides an improved LUT with respect to the default Elekta method to reduce treatment delivery interruptions.
