Does the greater power of pencil beam scanning reduce the need for a proton gantry? A study of head-and-neck and brain tumors
Susu Yan, Nicolas Depauw, Judith Adams +5
Proton therapy systems without a gantry can be more compact and less expensive in terms of capital cost, and therefore more available to a larger patient population. Would the adva…
Feasibility study of clinical target volume definition for soft-tissue sarcoma using muscle fiber orientations derived from diffusion tensor imaging
Nadya Shusharina, Xiaofeng Liu, Jaume Coll-Font +5
Objective: Soft-tissue sarcoma spreads preferentially along muscle fibers. We explore the utility of deriving muscle fiber orientations from diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) for defin…
Modeling the propagation of tumor fronts with shortest path and diffusion models -- implications for the definition of the clinical target volume
Thomas Bortfeld, Gregory Buti
Objective: The overarching objective is to make the definition of the clinical target volume (CTV) in radiation oncology less subjective and more scientifically based. The specific…
The societal impact of ion beam therapy
Thomas R. Bortfeld, Matthew Fernandez de Viana, Susu Yan
Ion beam therapy should be "democratized" through model-based patient selection, innovative technologies for better and faster treatment delivery, and substantial size and cost red…
Compact Method for Proton Range Verification Based on Coaxial Prompt Gamma-Ray Monitoring: a Theoretical Study
F. Hueso-González, T. Bortfeld
Range uncertainties in proton therapy hamper treatment precision. Prompt gamma-rays were suggested 16 years ago for real-time range verification, and have already shown promising r…
Adjustable robust treatment-length optimization in radiation therapy
Stefan C. M. ten Eikelder, Ali Ajdari, Thomas Bortfeld +1
Traditionally, optimization of radiation therapy (RT) treatment plans has been done before the initiation of RT course, using population-wide estimates for patients' response to th…
