TL;DR: The variability of the global gamma index (γ) analysis in various commercial IMRT/VMAT QA systems and the impact of measurement with low resolution detector arrays on γ indicates that the detector array configuration and resolution have greater impact on the experimental calculation of γ due to under-sampling of the dose distribution, blurring effects, noise, or a combination.

TL;DR: Observations of the Bystander effects emphasize the need for improved radiobiological models, which include communicated effects and account for the effects of modulated dose distribution.

TL;DR: For non-small-cell lung cancer and melanoma cell lines, the dose response was significantly different between freely communicating cell cultures and those with inhibited communication across the dose non-uniformity.

TL;DR: The successful implementation of SWAN has been demonstrated in a number of clinical trials, and the software provides an opportunity for comprehensive review of treatment parameters that could impact on clinical outcomes and trial results.

TL;DR: There was a significant difference between the minimum dose in each TPS-exported DVH and that calculated independently, and this was significantly influenced by the TPS model used to derive the data.
