Mashup Score: 32Cardiac segments dosimetric benefit from deep inspiration breath hold technique for left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy - 3 month(s) ago
Background: The objective was to compare dosimetry in left-sided breast cancer (LSBC) patients receiving deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) radiotherapy (RT) with free-breathing (FB) treatment plans. Materials and methods: Voluntary DIBH with a spirometer-based video-assisted system and CT-simulation were performed under FB and DIBH conditions on 40 LSBC patients, segmented according Duane’s atlas. IMRT plans kept the same dosimetric goals on FB and DIBH conditions. Target, lungs and heart volumes were measured. Planning target volume (PTV) dose distribution, organs at risk (OARs) dose/volume parameters, including cardiac substructures, were calculated. Results: Lungs and left-lung volumes increased in DIBH conditions (ΔV = 1637.8 ml ± 555.3 and 783.5 ml ± 286.4, respectively). Heart volume slightly decreased in apnea (p = 0.04), but target volumes, CTV and PTV were similar in FB or DIBH plans. PTV dose coverage was similar irrespective of respiratory conditions (median D50% = 41.1 Gy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) carries the potential for unprecedented disruption in radiology, with possible positive and negative consequences. The integration of AI in radiology holds the potential to revolutionize healthcare practices by advancing diagnosis, quantification, and management of multiple medical conditions. Nevertheless, the ever-growing availability of AI tools in radiology highlights an increasing need to critically evaluate claims for its utility and to differentiate safe product offerings from potentially harmful, or fundamentally unhelpful ones. This multi-society paper, presenting the views of Radiology Societies in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, defines the potential practical problems and ethical issues surrounding the incorporation of AI into radiological practice. In addition to delineating the main points of concern that developers, regulators, and purchasers of AI tools should consider prior to their introduction into clinical practice,

Mashup Score: 4The Current Role of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) - 5 month(s) ago
The role of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), which can deliver high radiation doses to focal tumors, has greatly increased in not only early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but also in portal vein or inferior vena cava thrombi, thus expanding this therapy to pre-transplantation and the treatment of oligometastases from HCC in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). In early-stage HCC, many promising prospective results of SBRT have been reported, although SBRT is not usually indicated as a first treatment potion in localized HCC according to several guidelines. In the treatment of portal vein or inferior vena cava tumor thrombi, several reports using various dose-fraction schedules have shown relatively good response rates with low toxicities and improved survival due to the rapid advancements in systemic therapy. Although SBRT is regarded as a substitute therapy when conventional bridging therapies to transplantation, such as transarterial chemoembolization (T
