Confidence in a Tattoo-Less Transition

Authors: Laura A. Doyle, Amy S. Harrison, Allyson P Koecher, Jackson D Reeves, Lindsay B Romak

Affiliation: Christiana Care

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) is increasingly utilized in radiation oncology, allowing for transition away from permanent skin marks to SGRT-based daily treatment setup. Following i...

Impact of Tracking By Jaws or Mlc on Treatment Accuracy in Synchrony Modality for Tomohelical Technique

Authors: Mireille Conrad, Cédric De Marco, Marie Fargier-Voiron, Maud Jaccard, Oscar Matzinger, Anthony Nagy, Stéphane Nevesny, Nicolas Joel Lionel Perichon

Affiliation: Clinique De Genolier

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Real-time tracking is implemented on Radixact by detecting the target position with 2D-kV image either directly (for lung tumors), or indirectly (using fiducials as surrogates), and by adapti...

Minimizing Positioning Errors in Intracranial SRS: The Role of Verification Imaging after 6-Dof Corrections

Authors: Anthony J. Doemer, Yimei Huang, Benjamin Movsas, Ellen Park, Mira Shah, Salim Siddiqui, Karen C. Snyder, Kundan S Thind, Bo Zhao

Affiliation: Henry Ford Health

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The 6 degrees-of-freedom (6-DoF) robotic couch is considered essential for linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), particularly for irregularly shaped targets adjacent to critical organs...

Optimizing the Collimator Angles in Radiation Isocenter Localization Using Winston-Lutz Tests

Authors: Weiliang Du

Affiliation: The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Winston-Lutz (WL) tests are often used to localize the radiation isocenter of a linac. The selection of gantry and collimator angles can affect the accuracy of the resulting isocenter. The ef...

Authors: Rebecca Lamoureux, Zahra (Zara) Razi, Zachary Whipps

Affiliation: University of New Mexico Hospital

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Patient mispositioning in CT imaging contributes to inconsistent radiation dose delivery and suboptimal image quality, impacting patient safety and diagnostic outcomes. This study evaluates a...

Using Varian’s Obi Tools to Develop a CBCT Workflow with Triggered Imaging for Spine SBRT Intrafraction Motion Monitoring

Authors: Yi An, David J. Carlson, Zhe (Jay) Chen, Jun Deng, Dae Yup Han, Sameer Taneja

Affiliation: Yale School of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Yale University School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Spine Stereotactic radiosurgery (SSR) delivers a large radiation dose and utilizes narrow PTV margins, on the order of 1 mm, to avoid excess dose to the spinal cord. Because of this, intrafra...
