Carbon fiber-reinforced implants may reduce uncertainty in postoperative spine stereotactic body radiotherapy
Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone implants consistently reduced imaging artifacts and dosimetric uncertainty versus titanium, but clinical outcome evidence remains limited.
Automated volumetric modulated arc therapy planning improved organ-at-risk sparing in head and neck radiotherapy
Across 500 clinical cases, automated planning preserved target coverage and was associated with lower doses to multiple critical structures than earlier manual planning.
K-means rapidly optimized isocenters and margins for polymetastatic stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
K-means matched hybrid optimization for margin volume while reducing median computation time from 306.9 seconds to 0.19 seconds.
Off-axis beam optimization reduced lung dose in posterior lung stereotactic body radiotherapy
Off-axis beam optimization preserved target coverage while reducing lung dose and enabling collision-free beam geometry for posterior lung lesions.
Robust optimization reduced organ doses in long-course lung radiotherapy
Robust optimization preserved target coverage while reducing lung, heart, esophageal, spinal cord, and estimated immune-cell dose during long-course lung radiotherapy.
Reference beam data may streamline commissioning but cannot replace local validation
Reference datasets can support linear accelerator beam modelling, but machine-specific measurements remain essential for small fields, complex delivery, and long-term verification.
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.
Ultrahigh dose-rate radiotherapy still requires conformal planning and conservative dose constraints
Normal-tissue sparing with ultrahigh dose-rate radiotherapy remains conditional and cannot replace conformal dosimetry, organ-at-risk constraints, or rigorous quality assurance.
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.
Risk-adapted esophagus sparing reduces dose with low severe esophagitis in lung cancer
Risk-adapted esophagus-sparing radiotherapy maintained target coverage, with grade 3 esophagitis in only 1.25% of high-risk patients.
Bone marrow-sparing radiotherapy lowers pelvic marrow dose without proven toxicity reduction
Bone marrow-sparing planning reduced pelvic marrow dose, but heterogeneous evidence did not confirm a consistent reduction in hematologic toxicity.
