Investigation of a real-time EPID-based patient dose monitoring safety system using site-specific control limits.
T. Fuangrod,Peter B. Greer,Henry C. Woodruff,John Simpson,Shashank Bhatia,Benjamin J. Zwan,T vanBeek,Boyd McCurdy,Richard H. Middleton +8 more
TL;DR: The EPID-based real-time error detection method for treatment verification during dynamic IMRT has been developed and tested for its performance and limitations, however improvement in system robustness is required to reduce the non-clinical sources of error detection.
Current role and future perspectives of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in radiation oncology for prostate cancer
TL;DR: Evaluating the use of MRS in radiation therapy for prostate cancer by evaluating its accuracy in the classification of aggressive cancer regions and target definition; its current role in the radiotherapy planning process, with special interest in technical issues behind the successful inclusion of M RS in clinical use; and available early experiences as a prognostic tool.
MRS-guided HDR brachytherapy boost to the dominant intraprostatic lesion in high risk localised prostate cancer
TL;DR: MRS-guided HDR brachytherapy boost to dominant lesion has the potential to spare the normal tissue, especially urethra, while keeping the tumour control probability high.
Characterization of prostate cancer using diffusion tensor imaging: A new perspective
Neda Gholizadeh,Peter B. Greer,John Simpson,James W. Denham,Peter Lau,Jason Dowling,Hubert Hondermarck,Saadallah Ramadan +7 more
TL;DR: Novel quantitative parameters derived from DTI and DTI tractography, including fiber tract density, support the use of DTI in the assessment of high grade prostate cancer.

Assessment of the accuracy of truebeam intrafraction motion review (IMR) system for prostate treatment guidance.
Guneet Kaur,Joerg Lehmann,Joerg Lehmann,Joerg Lehmann,Peter B. Greer,Peter B. Greer,John Simpson,John Simpson +7 more
TL;DR: The IMR was able to accurately and consistently report fiducial positions within the limitations inherent of a 2D system and is clinically beneficial especially within the context of SBRT.
