Phase I trial of stereotactic MR-guided online adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) for the treatment of oligometastatic or unresectable primary malignancies of the abdomen

TL;DR: Stereotactic, magnetic resonance (MR)-guided online-adaptive radiotherapy (SMART) may improve SBRT's therapeutic ratio and is clinically deliverable and safe, allowing PTV dose escalation and/or simultaneous OAR sparing compared to non- Adaptive abdominal SbrT.

Online Magnetic Resonance Image Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: First Clinical Applications

TL;DR: Online adaptive MR-IGRT has been successfully implemented with planning and QA workflow suitable for routine clinical application and reported of the initial clinical experience and workflow considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast and robust online adaptive planning in stereotactic MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) for pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: SMART3CM approach for LAPC allows good OAR sparing and adequate target coverage while requiring only limited online (re-)contouring from clinicians.

Integrating a MRI scanner with a 6 MV radiotherapy accelerator: dose increase at tissue–air interfaces in a lateral magnetic field due to returning electrons

TL;DR: Although the ERE causes dose increase before air cavities, relatively flat dose profiles can be obtained for the investigated cases using opposite beam configurations and more research will be necessary to find out whether this holds for more realistic geometries with the use of IMRT.

Integrating a MRI scanner with a 6 MV radiotherapy accelerator: dose deposition in a transverse magnetic field

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to determine the impact of the transverse 1.5 T magnetic field on the dose deposition of a MRI accelerator and the effect can be taken into account in a conventional treatment planning procedure.

Characterization of tissue magnetic susceptibility-induced distortions for MRIgRT

TL;DR: The characteristics of susceptibility (χ) distortions in the context of MRIgRT, including the case of two common MR-linac system configurations, were investigated in detail, determined for both quadratic and patient specific geometries.

Choice of optimum megavoltage for accelerators for photon beam treatment.

TL;DR: Consideration of the behavior of these parameters indicates that optimum photon energies have been achieved and that the impetus for higher megavoltages is unwarranted for most treatment.
