Workflow Efficiency in Vaginal Cuff High Dose Rate Brachytherapy Using Artificial Intelligence-Based Organ Segmentation and Multi-Channel Cylinder Modeling Open
Background/Objectives: High dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) is resource-intensive. Workflow efficiency and inter-user variability remain prevalent issues in HDR-BT. To improve workflow efficiency and reduce inter-user variability, we intr…

Patient Positional Uncertainty and Margin Reduction in Lung Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy Using Pneumatic Abdominal Compression Open
Clinical data suggest that the uniform 5.0-mm margin is conservative for our workflow. Using modern techniques such as 4D CT, 4D CBCT, and effective motion management can significantly reduce required margins, and therefore necessary healt…

RTHP-35. IMPACT OF TUMOR TREATMENT FIELD ARRAY ON PROTON BEAM DOSE DISTRIBUTION AND IMAGE GUIDANCE IN THE TREATMENT OF CNS MALIGNANCIES Open
Use of tumor treatment fields (TTFs) after radiotherapy and temozolomide for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) increases survival. Prescribing the TTF system concurrently with radiotherapy may increase disease control. We studied the impact of…
