Semi-automated needle planning shortens cervical brachytherapy workflow while preserving clinical coverage
Semi-automated trajectory planning reduced workflow time and needle use while maintaining clinically acceptable target coverage and organ-at-risk doses.
Patient-led genital positioning improved comfort and modesty during thigh sarcoma radiotherapy
A reusable positioning pouch displaced the genitalia from the treatment field while receiving high satisfaction ratings from patients and radiation therapists.
Four-dimensional prompt-gamma imaging detected proton range changes during pancreatic treatment
Four-dimensional prompt-gamma imaging detected clinically relevant proton range shifts associated with anatomical change during pancreatic proton therapy.
Two-hour fasting did not reliably stabilize stomach volume during pancreatic stereotactic radiotherapy
Standardized two-hour fasting produced reproducible stomach volumes in only 42% of patients receiving magnetic resonance-guided pancreatic stereotactic radiotherapy.
Macro Monte Carlo accelerates very high energy electron dose calculation with high accuracy
A macro Monte Carlo framework reproduced reference dose calculations for very high energy electron beams up to 250 megaelectronvolts while improving computational efficiency by as much as twenty-sevenfold.
Hybrid foundation model produces expert-preferred brain metastasis contours
A hybrid foundation-model framework achieved 94% lesion-wise sensitivity and was preferred over physician-generated brain metastasis contours in blinded, bias-adjusted comparisons.
