Journal ArticleDOI
Proton versus photon radiotherapy for common pediatric brain tumors: Comparison of models of dose characteristics and their relationship to cognitive function
TL;DR: To determine whether proton radiotherapy has clinical advantages over photon radiotherapy, the dose characteristics of both to critical normal tissue volumes are modeled using data from patients with four types of childhood brain tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linac-integrated 4D cone beam CT: first experimental results.
TL;DR: This work presents a system which has the potential to investigate the correlation between internal (movement of the diaphragm) and external ( data of a respiratory gating system) information about breathing phase and amplitude using an inline CBCT scanner and suggests the usability of such a system for a gated dose delivery approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of salivary gland function after treatment of head-and-neck tumors with intensity-modulated radiotherapy by quantitative pertechnetate scintigraphy.
Marc W. Münter,Christian P. Karger,Simone Hoffner,Holger Hof,Christoph Thilmann,Volker Rudat,Simeon Nill,Michael Wannenmacher,Jürgen Debus +8 more
TL;DR: Using IMRT, it is possible to protect the parotid glands and reduce the incidence and severity of xerostomia in patients and the hypothesis that application of IMRT does not lead to increased local failure rates is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: A "Game Changer" for Prostate Treatment?
A. Pathmanathan,Nicholas van As,Linda G W Kerkmeijer,John Christodouleas,Colleen A. Lawton,Danny Vesprini,Uulke A. van der Heide,Steven J. Frank,Simeon Nill,Uwe Oelfke,Marcel van Herk,X. Allen Li,K Mittauer,Mark A. Ritter,Ananya Choudhury,Alison Tree +15 more
TL;DR: The present report reviews the steps involved in hypofractionated adaptive MRI-guided prostate radiation therapy and addresses the challenges for implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linac-integrated kV-cone beam CT: technical features and first applications.
Uwe Oelfke,Thomas Tücking,Simeon Nill,Annete Seeber,B.-M. Hesse,Peter E. Huber,Christoph Thilmann +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the technical development of linac-integrated CBCTs bears an enormous potential for the correction of interfractional treatment errors, however, image quality and reconstruction speed of the images leave room for improvement.
