3D-printed oral stents were associated with less toxicity after nasopharyngeal radiotherapy
Patient-specific stents improved tongue and parotid stability and were associated with substantially less hearing loss, dysphagia and dysgeusia.
uTPS produced deliverable Halcyon VMAT plans comparable with Eclipse
uTPS generated Halcyon VMAT plans with generally comparable dosimetry to Eclipse and greater than 97% gamma passing rates.
VMAT lattice radiotherapy produced 65% median shrinkage in bulky hepatocellular carcinoma
Twelve VMAT lattice courses produced 65% median tumor shrinkage and no local progression during short follow-up in bulky hepatocellular carcinoma.
VMAT lattice radiotherapy on standard linacs provided early palliation in bulky tumors
In eight bulky tumor sites, flattening-filter VMAT lattice radiotherapy produced 75% symptom relief with no grade 3 or higher acute toxicity.
AI-assisted VMAT planning shortened workflow but required manual hotspot correction
AI-assisted planning cut average planning time from about two hours to 30 minutes, but three of 12 plans required manual hotspot correction.
Geometry-based scaling standardized central target definition for SCART planning
A phantom-derived model predicted SCART central target radius with R² values of 0.991–0.999, but clinical validation remains absent.
Early CBCT shifts failed to predict dosimetric compromise in head and neck VMAT
Early three-dimensional CBCT shifts performed no better than chance for identifying patients with at least 3% PTV coverage loss.
Knowledge-based breast VMAT achieved low heart doses and no grade 3 toxicity
A standardized knowledge-based VMAT workflow achieved high target coverage, low cardiopulmonary doses and no grade 3 acute toxicity in 484 patients.
Surface-guided radiotherapy supported frog-leg vulvar treatment setup
Surface-guided radiotherapy kept mean setup shifts near zero during frog-leg vulvar volumetric modulated arc therapy.
Volumetric modulated arc therapy complexity surveillance predicted patient-specific quality assurance results
Aperture irregularity and modulation complexity score were the strongest plan-complexity predictors of patient-specific quality assurance pass rate.
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.
