Open AccessImpact of metal artifact reduction algorithm on gross tumor volume delineation in tonsillar cancer: reducing the interobserver variation
Patients with tonsillar cancer (TC) often have dental fillings that can significantly degrade the quality of computed tomography (CT) simulator images due to metal artifacts. We evaluated whether the use of th...

Open AccessImpact of four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography on target localization for gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma radiotherapy: reducing planning target volume
Radiotherapy of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma should be delivered to the entire stomach with planning target volume (PTV) that accounts for variations in stomach volume, respiratory...

Comparison of rigid and deformable image registration for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy planning with diagnostic position PET/CT
This observer study aimed to compare rigid image registration (RIR) with deformable image registration (DIR) for diagnostic position (DP) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images in the...

Commissioning and validation of fluence-based 3D VMAT dose reconstruction system using new transmission detector
In this study, we evaluated the basic performance of the three-dimensional dose verification system COMPASS (IBA Dosimetry). This system is capable of reconstructing 3D dose distributions on the patient anatom...

Open AccessTumor motion changes in stereotactic body radiotherapy for liver tumors: an evaluation based on four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography and fiducial markers
For stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of liver tumors, tumor motion induced by respiration must be taken into account in planning and treatment. We evaluated whether liver tumor motion at the planning...

Dynamic positioning accuracy of a novel multileaf collimator for volumetric modulated arc therapy
We investigated the dynamic positioning accuracy of Agility (Elekta) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The accuracy of the multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf position during VMAT was evaluated using th...

Optimization of acquisition parameters and accuracy of target motion trajectory for four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography with a dynamic thorax phantom
Our purpose in this study was to evaluate the performance of four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CBCT) and to optimize the acquisition parameters. We evaluated the relationship between the acquisition par...

Validation of a quick three-dimensional dose verification system for pre-treatment IMRT QA
In this study, we evaluated the dosimetric performance of the three-dimensional (3D) dose verification system, COMPASS version 3 (IBA Dosimetry, GmbH, Germany). The COMPASS has the function of a dedicated beam...
