/manager/Repository/uon:44516 95% of fractions were successfully delivered. The secondary outcomes were (1) the improvement in beam-target geometric alignment, (2) the improvement in dosimetric coverage of the prostate and avoidance of critical structures, and (3) no acute grade ≥3 genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicity. Results: All 858 planned fractions were successfully delivered with MLC tracking, demonstrating the primary outcome of feasibility (P < .001). MLC tracking improved the beam-target geometric alignment from 1.4 to 0.90 mm (root-mean-square error). MLC tracking improved the dosimetric coverage of the prostate and reduced the daily variation in dose to critical structures. No acute grade ≥3 genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicity was observed. Conclusions: Electromagnetic-guided MLC tracking radiation therapy for prostate cancer is feasible. The patients received improved geometric targeting and delivered dose distributions that were closer to those planned than they would have received without electromagnetic-guided MLC tracking. No significant acute toxicity was observed.]]> Wed 09 Nov 2022 10:02:12 AEDT ]]> Visualising the urethra for prostate radiotherapy planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49004 Wed 03 May 2023 12:17:09 AEST ]]> Regression and statistical shape model based substitute CT generation for MRI alone external beam radiation therapy from standard clinical MRI sequences https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33939 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:26:19 AEDT ]]> A high-performance method of deep learning for prostate MR-only radiotherapy planning using an optimized Pix2Pix architecture https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53153 Tue 21 Nov 2023 11:09:54 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of healthcare-associated infectious organisms in medical radiation science departments: preliminary findings https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48297 Tue 14 Mar 2023 12:28:45 AEDT ]]> A method for evaluating treatment quality using in vivo EPID dosimetry and statistical process control in radiation therapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34592 in vivo EPID dosimetry for patients treated at the specific centre. Sampling patients for generating the control limits were limited to 100 patients. Whilst the quantitative results are specific to the clinical techniques and equipment used, the described method is generally applicable to IMRT and VMAT treatment QA. Whilst more work is required to determine the level of clinical significance, the authors have demonstrated the capability of the method for both treatment specific QA and continuing quality improvement. Practical implications: The proposed method is a valuable tool for assessing the accuracy of treatment delivery whilst also improving treatment quality and patient safety.

Materials and methods: This study developed a generalized dual model HU conversion method to convert standard T2w MR image intensity values to synthetic HU values, separately inside and outside of atlas-segmented bone volume contour. The method was developed and evaluated with 20 and 35 prostate cancer patients, respectively. MR images with scanning sequences in clinical use were acquired with four different MR scanners of three vendors. Results: For the generated synthetic CT (sCT) images of the 35 prostate patients, the mean (and maximal) HU differences in soft and bony tissue volumes were 16 ± 6 HUs (34 HUs) and −46 ± 56 HUs (181 HUs), respectively, against the true CT images. The average of the PTV mean dose difference in sCTs compared to those in true CTs was −0.6 ± 0.4% (−1.3%). Conclusions: The study provides a generalized method for sCT creation from standard T2w images of the pelvis. The method produced clinically acceptable dose calculation results for all the included scanners and MR sequences.]]> Fri 14 Dec 2018 14:49:01 AEDT ]]> The status of radiation oncology teaching in Australian and New Zealand medical schools https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41774 Fri 12 Aug 2022 11:56:45 AEST ]]> Cardiotoxicity of radiation therapy: mechanisms, management, and mitigation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42763 Fri 02 Sep 2022 09:01:20 AEST ]]>
