Journal ArticleDOI
Skin toxicity due to intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head-and-neck carcinoma.
Nancy M. Lee,Cynthia H. Chuang,Jeanne M. Quivey,Theodore L. Phillips,Pam Akazawa,Lynn J. Verhey,Ping Xia +6 more
TL;DR: By taking into consideration the skin as a sensitive structure during inverse planning, it was possible to reduce the skin dose to a tolerable level without compromising tumor target coverage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotactic body radiotherapy is effective salvage therapy for patients with prior radiation of spinal metastases.
Arjun Sahgal,Arjun Sahgal,Christopher P. Ames,Dean Chou,Lijun Ma,K. Huang,Wei Xu,Cynthia Chin,Vivan Weinberg,Cynthia H. Chuang,Phillip R. Weinstein,David A. Larson +11 more
TL;DR: Spine SBRT has shown preliminary efficacy and safety in patients with image-based progression of previously irradiated metastases with no radiation-induced myelopathy or radiculopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description and dosimetric verification of the PEREGRINE Monte Carlo dose calculation system for photon beams incident on a water phantom.
C. L. Hartmann Siantar,R. S. Walling,T. P. Daly,Bruce A. Faddegon,N. Albright,Paul M. Bergstrom,Alex F. Bielajew,Cynthia H. Chuang,D. Garrett,R. K. House,D K Knapp,D. J. Wieczorek,Lynn J. Verhey +12 more
TL;DR: The implementation and overall dosimetric accuracy of PEREGRINE physics algorithms, beam model, and beam commissioning procedure are described and calculations with measurements in a water phantom for open fields, wedges, blocks, and a multileaf collimator are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
“What My Doctor Didn't Tell Me”: Examining Health Care Provider Advice to Overweight and Obese Pregnant Women on Gestational Weight Gain and Physical Activity
Michael R. Stengel,Jennifer L. Kraschnewski,Sandra W. Hwang,Kristen H. Kjerulff,Cynthia H. Chuang +4 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that provider advice on GWG and exercise is insufficient and often inappropriate, and thus unlikely to positively influence how overweight and obese women shape goals and expectations in regard to GWGs and exercise behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The need for application-based adaptation of deformable image registration.
TL;DR: A deformable phantom is utilized to objectively evaluate the accuracy of 11 different deformable image registration (DIR) algorithms and possesses sufficient soft-tissue heterogeneity to act as a proxy for patient data.
