Automatic skin flash optimization in breast and chestwall VMAT with static angle modulated ports: Effect of HU and flash margin size on plan quality and robustness Open
Skin flash is typically added to breast and chestwall plans to ensure robust target coverage in the presence of respiratory motion, anatomic changes, and small setup uncertainties. Adding skin flash in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMA…

Comparison of virtual reality platforms to enhance medical education for procedures Open
Background: Historically, medical education relied on apprentice-based experiences requiring direct observation in patient cases. Simulation-based education has been shown to improve resident confidence but can be time intensive and diffic…

Practical needle selection for Vienna-style applicators: improving therapeutic ratio in hybrid intracavitary-interstitial brachytherapy Open
Hybrid IC/IS applicators maintain excellent D90% coverage while improving dose to OARs compared to IC-only applicators, even in non-bulky HR-CTVs. We offer practical recommendations for needle selection, insertion depth, and rel…

Geometric and dosimetric effects of image co-registration workflows for Gamma Knife frameless radiosurgery. Open
The Gamma Knife® Icon™ CBCT facilitates frameless radiosurgery. In the vendor-recommended workflow, MRI is co-registered directly to CBCT for planning. Alternatively, MRI is co-registered to a diagnostic CT, which is then co-registered to …
