One RapidPlan model generated ocular stereotactic plans across three fractionation schedules
A single knowledge-based model generated comparable ocular plans for 25 Gy once, 42 Gy in three fractions and 50 Gy in five.
HyperSight protocol selection substantially changed CBCT organ dose
Low Dose HyperSight protocols reduced exposure by 55%, while Slow and Large protocols increased imaging dose and accentuated secondary-risk estimates.
Small gastrointestinal PRV margins limited dose increases but did not encompass pancreatic SABR motion
Two- to five-millimetre gastrointestinal margins usually limited delivered dose increases but frequently failed to encompass interfraction organ motion.
Robust IMPT modestly reduced organ-at-risk dose in five-fraction prostate proton therapy
SFUD and robust IMPT maintained target coverage under uncertainty, while IMPT modestly reduced rectal and bladder dose.
GPT-4.1 retrieved TrueBeam troubleshooting history but retained safety risks
A retrieval-augmented GPT-4.1 chatbot rapidly surfaced previous TrueBeam faults, but procedural, role-definition and safety errors remained.
Interpretable autoencoder detected anomalous IMRT plans with high discrimination
An autoencoder identified anomalous IMRT plans with an area under the curve of 0.98 and explained which parameters drove each alert.
In-beam PET enabled real-time radioactive ion beam range adaptation in mice
Radioactive carbon-11 beams enabled PET-guided range adjustment during irradiation, with biological outcomes matching insufficient, optimal and excessive beam penetration.
Brain metastasis contouring variability depended on lesion and MRI factors
Brain metastasis contours showed generally high agreement, although lesion volume, oedema and magnetic resonance imaging field strength influenced variability.
Dose reporting mode affected spine SBRT audit results
A national end-to-end audit found acceptable spine stereotactic radiotherapy accuracy but systematic differences between dose-reporting conventions.
High geometric agreement did not guarantee physician acceptance of AI contours
Thoracic AI contours showed strong geometric and dosimetric agreement, but physicians still rejected some heart and oesophageal contours.
Deep learning reconstructed one-minute gated CBCT for pancreatic radiotherapy
Deep-learning reconstruction produced pancreatic gated cone-beam computed tomography comparable with conventional imaging while reducing estimated acquisition time and imaging dose.
A 4.5 mm margin covered most intrafraction small-bowel motion during MR-guided radiotherapy
A 4.5 mm isotropic margin covered most observed small-bowel occupancy despite craniocaudal displacements exceeding 20 mm in some patients.
CT imaging features improved local and distant control prediction in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Planning CT features added prognostic information for local and distant control but did not significantly improve overall or progression-free survival prediction.
Upright carbon ion plans matched supine dosimetry for prostate cancer
Upright carbon ion treatment plans achieved target coverage, organ sparing and simulated robustness comparable with conventional supine plans.
