Emulating the delivery of sawtooth proton arc therapy plans on a cyclotron-based proton beam therapy system (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the deliverability of ‘sawtooth’ proton arc therapy (PAT) plans relative to static intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) at a cyclotron-based clinical facility.

Methods: The delivery of single and dual arc Saw... Read More about Emulating the delivery of sawtooth proton arc therapy plans on a cyclotron-based proton beam therapy system.

Recording and reporting of ultra-high dose rate “FLASH” delivery for preclinical and clinical settings (2024)
Journal Article

Treatments at ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) have the potential to improve the therapeutic index of radiation therapy (RT) by sparing normal tissues compared to conventional dose rate irradiations. Insufficient and inconsistent reporting in physics and... Read More about Recording and reporting of ultra-high dose rate “FLASH” delivery for preclinical and clinical settings.

Terminology, recording, reporting for ultra-high dose rates: ESTRO physics of FLASH workshop update (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose/Objective:
There is mounting preclinical evidence that irradiations at ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) have the potential to improve the therapeutic index of radiation therapy (RT) by sparing normal tissues compared to conventional dose rate irr...

How precisely to deliver pencil beam scanned proton FLASH? Robustness of dose rate to AAPM TG224 (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose/Objective:
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group Report 224: Comprehensive Proton Therapy Machine Quality Assurance gives recommendations for the delivery of Pencil Beam Scanned (PBS) proton radiotherapy. The t... Read More about How precisely to deliver pencil beam scanned proton FLASH? Robustness of dose rate to AAPM TG224.
