Feasibility of image registration and intensity-modulated radiotherapy planning with hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging for non-small-cell lung cancer
Rob H. Ireland,Rob H. Ireland,Christopher M. Bragg,Christopher M. Bragg,Mark McJury,Mark McJury,Neil Woodhouse,Stan Fichele,Edwin J. R. van Beek,Edwin J. R. van Beek,Jim M. Wild,Matthew Q. Hatton +11 more
TL;DR: Statistically significant improvements to IMRT plans are possible using functional information provided by 3He-MRI that has been registered to radiotherapy planning CT using rigid registration.

Clinical implications of the anisotropic analytical algorithm for IMRT treatment planning and verification
TL;DR: The Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm should be used in preference to the PBC algorithm for treatments involving low density tissue but this may necessitate re-evaluation of plan acceptability criteria.

Functional image-based radiotherapy planning for non-small cell lung cancer: A simulation study
Emma Bates,Christopher M. Bragg,Jim M. Wild,Matthew Q. Hatton,Matthew Q. Hatton,Rob H. Ireland +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the incorporation of data from single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging (3 He-MRI) into IMRT planning for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A systematic review of methods to immobilise breast tissue during adjuvant breast irradiation
TL;DR: To identify the suitability of currently available breast (rather than thorax) immobilisation techniques an appraisal of the literature was undertaken, and good reproducibility of the thorax using the standard supine arm-pole technique was identified.

Dosimetric comparison of peripheral NSCLC SBRT using Acuros XB and AAA calculation algorithms
Chloe C H Ong,Khong Wei Ang,Roger C.X. Soh,Kah Ming Tin,Jerome H H Yap,James Cheow Lei Lee,Christopher M. Bragg +6 more
TL;DR: The AXB VMAT plans could be used to benefit patients receiving peripheral NSCLC SBRT and have a lower target coverage up to 8% when calculated using AXB as compared with AAA, which indicated better target conformity.
