The Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System (RTS) is a treatment option of the CyberKnife robotic device to irradiate extra-cranial tumors that move due respiration. Advantages RTS are patients can breath normally and there no loss linac duty cycle such as with gated therapy. based on measured correspondence model (linear or polynomial) between internal tumor motion external (chest/abdominal) marker motion. radiation beam follows movement via continuously To establish at start treatment, 3D...
Synchronized moving aperture radiation therapy (SMART) is a new technique for treating mobile tumours under development at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). The basic idea of SMART to synchronize the beam formed by dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) with tumour motion induced respiration. based on concept average trajectory (ATT) exhibited during During treatment simulation stage, measured and ATT derived. Then, original IMRT MLC leaf sequence modified using compensate motion....
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy day-to-day predictions liver tumour position using implanted gold markers as surrogates and compare method with alternative set-up strategies, i.e. no correction, vertebrae 3D diaphragm-based set-up. Twenty patients undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) abdominal compression for primary or metastatic cancer were analysed. We determined correlation between marker positions in contrast-enhanced CT scans acquired at treatment...
The benefits of using Synchrony™ Respiratory Tracking System (RTS) in conjunction with the CyberKnife robotic treatment device to treat a “breathing tumor” an anthropomorphic, tissue‐equivalent, thoracic phantom have been investigated. following studied: (a) Synchrony's ability allow deliver accurately planned dose distribution free‐breathing and (b) dosimetric implications when irregularities breathing cycle phase differences between internal (tumor) external (chest) motion exist course one...
For several tumor entities, automated treatment planning has improved plan quality and efficiency, may enable adaptive approaches. Whole-pelvic prostate radiotherapy (WPRT) involves large concave target volumes, which present a challenge for volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) optimization. This study evaluates VMAT WPRT-VMAT compares the results with manual expert planning.A system fully multi-criterial generation was configured each step of sequential-boost WPRT-VMAT, final "autoVMAT" plans...
