Split inhale–exhale planning reduced rib dose in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy
Splitting eight fractions between inhale and exhale breath-holds reduced maximum rib dose from 67.9 to 33.5 Gy without compromising target coverage.
Failure analysis identifies target definition and motion management as key risks in stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation
Multimodal registration, motion management, and arrhythmia substrate definition were the highest-risk steps in stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation.
Machine-specific timing model improves synchrotron proton spot delivery prediction
Measured multi-energy extraction characteristics enabled accurate delivery-time prediction across 605 clinical proton fields, supporting more reliable interplay simulations.
