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...

Technical Feasibility and Accuracy of Dynamic Longitudinal Couch Motion during Beam Delivery

Authors: Chonthicha Bunchuailuea, David Geeler, Martin Sabel, Claas Wessels

Affiliation: Varian Medical Systems

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Elongated treatment sites, such as craniospinal treatments, pose multiple challenges in today’s practices, requiring multiple CBCTs for position verifications per fraction, which might increa...

The Biological TCP/NTCP Modelling on Oropharyngeal Head-and-Neck Cancer for Patients Treated with Proton Beam Therapy

Authors: Wen C. Hsi, Tae Kyu Lee, Biniam Yo Tesfamicael

Affiliation: Allina Health, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Oklahoma Proton Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: When minimal dose-variations induced by inter-fractional anatomical-changes and positioning-deviation were found for having limited impact on clinic-outcomes of oropharyngeal head-and-neck (H...

The Unspoken Impact of Couch Sag on Breathing-Traces Collected during Patient Simulation

Authors: Giorgi Archuadze, William P. Donahue, David Kanchaveli, Shih-Chi Lin, Sebastian Meyer, Grace Tang

Affiliation: Department of Medical Physics, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Breathing traces captured at simulations are often used for deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) treatments. However, systematic drift can occur in the traces that is unrelated to the patients...
