Comparing pre-operative versus post-operative single and multi-fraction stereotactic radiotherapy for patients with resectable brain metastases
H. Perlow,C. Ho,J. Matsui,Rahul N. Prasad,Brett Klamer,Joshua L. Wang,Mark Damante,R. C. Upadhyay,Evan Thomas,Dukagjin Blakaj,Sasha Beyer,Russell R. Lonser,Douglas A. Hardesty,Raju R. Raval,Roshan S. Prabhu,James B. Elder,Joshua D. Palmer +16 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors hypothesize that pre-operative fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) will have less toxicity compared to patients who receive post-operative SRS or FSRT.

Assessment of MRI image distortion based on 6 consecutive years of annual QAs and measurements on 14 MRI scanners used for radiation therapy
Lanchun Lu,Xiangyu Yang,Brian Raterman,Xia Jiang,Matthew Meineke,John C. Grecula,Dukagjin Blakaj,Joshua D. Palmer,Raju R. Raval,Evan Thomas,David E. Hintenlang,Nilendu Gupta +11 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantitatively study the MRI image distortion over period of 6 years for up to 14 1.5 and 3 T MRI scanners that could potentially be used to provide MRI images for treatment planning.

Implementation of triggered kilovoltage imaging for stereotactic radiotherapy of the spine for patients with spinal fixation hardware
Ashley J. Cetnar,Michael Degnan,J. Pichler,Sagarika Jain,Samantha Morelli,Evan Thomas,J. Bradley Elder,Thomas J. Scharschmidt,Joshua D. Palmer,Dukagjin Blakaj +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the application of triggered kilovoltage (kV) imaging for spine SRT patients with hardware by correlating kV imaging with patient motion and summarizing implications of tolerance for IM based on calculated dose.

Neoadjuvant Arterial Embolization of Spine Metastases Associated With Improved Local Control in Patients Receiving Surgical Decompression and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
Mark Damante,David Gibbs,Khaled Dibs,Joshua D. Palmer,Raju R. Raval,Thomas J. Scharschmidt,Arnab Chakravarti,Eric C. Bourekas,Daniel J. Boulter,Evan Thomas,John C. Grecula,Sasha Beyer,David Xu,Shahid M Nimjee,Patrick Youssef,Russell R. Lonser,Dukagjin Blakaj,J. Bradley Elder +17 more
TL;DR: In this article , a retrospective single-center review between 2012 and 2020 identified 117 patients with spinal metastases from various solid tumor malignancies managed with surgery and adjuvant SBRT with or without preoperative spinal arterial embolization.

Advancing Beyond the Hippocampus to Preserve Cognition for Patients With Brain Metastases: Dosimetric Results From a Phase 2 Trial of Memory-Avoidance Whole Brain Radiation Therapy
H. Perlow,Ansel P. Nalin,A. Ritter,M. B. Addington,Aubrie Ward,Michal Liu,Collin Nappi,Dukagjin Blakaj,Sasha Beyer,Evan Thomas,J. Grecula,R. Raval,R. Kotecha,Daniel Boulter,Erica L. Dawson,Wesley Zoller,J. D. Palmer +16 more
TL;DR: Modern volumetric modulated arc therapy techniques allow for sparing of the hippocampus, amygdala, corpus callosum, and fornix with good target coverage and homogeneity in patients treated for brain metastases.
