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…
