Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity in the Australian and New Zealand Medical Physics Workforce
Emily Simpson-Page, Megan Anderson, Scott B. Crowe +4
The consideration of diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) is an important part of promoting a robust and respectful workforce, and is critical to the continued success of organi…
Generation of synthetic CT images from optical scanning for superficial mold brachytherapy
Scott B. Crowe, Emily Simpson-Page, Jenna Luscombe +2
Optical 3D scanning systems allow the acquisition of accurate models of patient anatomy, suitable for use in the design of simple 3D-printable patient-matched medical devices with…
Magnetic resonance imaging assessment of the suitability and consistency of radiotherapy treatment positioning achieved using intra-oral stents
Tanya Kairn, Philip Chan, Benjamin Chua +7
As head-and-neck radiotherapy treatments grow more complex and precise, it becomes increasingly important to assess the anatomical separations that can be achieved using intra-oral…
Patient-specific immobilisation for radiotherapy treatment of extensive lower-limb carcinoma
Tanya Kairn, Tania Poroa, Jenna Luscombe +3
When non-melanoma skin cancers extend over large areas of skin, effective radiotherapy treatments can be delivered using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) beams with narrow s…
Adapting a 3D scanning water phantom for use in brachytherapy dosimetry
Rachael Wilks, Samuel C. Peet, Tanya Kairn +1
In external beam radiotherapy, 3D scanning water phantoms are the gold standard for obtaining relative dosimetry data. These phantoms, consisting of a water tank and mechanical arm…
Characteristics of a 9 MeV electron beam for total skin electron radiotherapy evaluated in comparison to a 6 MeV electron beam
Tanya Kairn, Craig M. Lancaster, Scott B. Crowe
Characteristics of a 9 MeV electron beam were investigated, to evaluate potential benefits for patients with extensive mycosis fungoides lesions that are deeper than commonly treat…
