Background With radiotherapy having entered the era of image guidance, or image‐guided
radiation therapy (IGRT), imaging procedures are routinely performed for patient positioning …

In radiation-based medical imaging research, computational modeling methods are used to
design and validate imaging systems and post-processing algorithms. Monte Carlo methods …

The use of Cone beam CT (CBCT) systems for Image Guided Radiotherapy is rapidly
expanding in the developed world. With its use comes concern for the increased risks of …

With the increased use of cone beam CT (CBCT) for daily patient setup, the accumulated
dose from CBCT may be significantly higher than that from simulation CT or portal imaging …

Purpose Cone beam CT is increasingly being used for daily patient positioning verification
during radiation therapy treatments. The daily use of CBCT could lead to accumulated …

Effects of changes in the physics of EGSnrc compared to egs4/presta on energy deposition
kernels for monoenergetic photons and on dose point kernels for beta sources in water are …

Background. With the increasing use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for
patient position verification and radiotherapy treatment adaptation, there is an increasing …

Background To the present date, IORT has been eye and hand guided without treatment
planning and tissue heterogeneity correction. This limits the precision of the application and …

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a treatment approach in radiation therapy where the
treatment field is spatially fractionated into arrays of a few tens of micrometre wide planar …

The feasibility of accounting of the dose from kilovoltage cone‐beam CT in treatment
planning has been discussed previously for a single cone‐beam CT (CBCT) beam from one …
