Institutional experience with SRS VMAT planning for multiple cranial metastases
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study summarizes the cranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) procedure at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Volumetric modulated arc therapy plans were generated for 40 patients with 188 lesions (range 2-8, median 5) in Eclipse and treated on a TrueBeam STx. Limitations of the custom beam model outside the central 2.5 mm...
متن کاملWhole brain radiotherapy with adjuvant or concomitant boost in brain metastasis: dosimetric comparison between helical and volumetric IMRT technique.
BACKGROUND To compare and evaluate the possible advantages related to the use of VMAT and helical IMRT and two different modalities of boost delivering, adjuvant stereotactic boost (SRS) or simultaneous integrated boost (SIB), in the treatment of brain metastasis (BM) in RPA classes I-II patients. METHODS Ten patients were treated with helical IMRT, 5 of them with SRS after whole brain radiot...
متن کاملAveraging VMAT treatment plans for multi-criteria navigation
The main approach to smooth Pareto surface navigation for radiation therapy multi-criteria treatment planning involves taking real-time averages of pre-computed treatment plans. In fluencebased treatment planning, fluence maps themselves can be averaged, which leads to the dose distributions being averaged due to the linear relationship between fluence and dose. This works for fluence-based pho...
متن کاملDosimetric superiority of flattening filter free beams for single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery in single brain metastasis
For single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using linac in brain metastases, more accurate treatment delivery with higher tumor absorbed doses and lower absorbed doses to normal tissues remains an enormous challenge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dosimetric superiority in flattening filter free beams (FFF) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in single brain me...
متن کاملLearning to optimize mobile robot navigation based on HTN plans
High-level symbolic representations of actions to control the working of autonomous robots are used in all hybrid (reactive and deliberative) robot control architectures. Abstract action representations serve several purposes, such as structuring the control code, optimizing the robot performance, and providing a basis for reasoning about future robot action. The paper presents results about re...
