Confidence limits for patient‐specific IMRT dose QA: a multi‐institutional study in Korea
This study aims to investigate tolerance levels for patient-specific IMRT dose QA (DQA) using the confidence limits (CL) determined by a multi-institutional study. Eleven institutions participated in the multi-institutional study in Korea. A total of 155 DQA measurements, consisting of point-dose differences (high- and low-dose regions) and gamma passing rates (composite and per-field) for IMRT...
متن کاملIMRT QA using machine learning: A multi‐institutional validation
PURPOSE To validate a machine learning approach to Virtual intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) for accurately predicting gamma passing rates using different measurement approaches at different institutions. METHODS A Virtual IMRT QA framework was previously developed using a machine learning algorithm based on 498 IMRT plans, in which QA measurements were perfo...
متن کاملTopotecan is active against Wilms' tumor: results of a multi-institutional phase II study.
PURPOSE A phase II study was conducted to evaluate the activity and safety of topotecan in pediatric patients with recurrent Wilms' tumor. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with favorable histology Wilms' tumor (FHWT) and recurrence after at least one salvage chemotherapy regimen or with anaplastic histology Wilms' tumor (AHWT) in first or subsequent recurrence were eligible. Patients were strati...
متن کاملMulti-institutional phase I/II trial of stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver metastases.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of high-dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of patients with one to three hepatic metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with one to three hepatic lesions and maximum individual tumor diameters less than 6 cm were enrolled and treated on a multi-institutional, phase I/II clinical trial in which they received SB...
متن کاملA survey on planar IMRT QA analysis
Quality assurance (QA) systems for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) have become standard tools in modern clinical medical physics departments. However, because formalized industry standards or recommendations from professional societies have yet to be defined, methods of IMRT QA analysis vary from institution to institution. Understanding where matters stand today is an important st...
