Article Abstract
Background: The probability of cranial lesions in fibrous dysplasia reaches 50%. A pre-operative computer-assisted planning provides opportunities for precise radical bone resection and customized xenograft manufacturing.
Objective: To evaluate postoperative outcomes in patients with fibrous dysplasia of the cranial vault and base, achived by means of preoperative computer-assisted planning and modeling.
Material And Methods: There were 32 patients with fibrous dysplasia of skull cranioorbital and vault localisation in Moscow National Medical Research Center for Neurosurgery named after Academician N.N. Burdenko from 2008 to 2024. All patients underwent a virtual lesion resection, a surgical template and a customized implant or its mold modelling. Implants were mostly manufactured from polymethylmethacrylate either before or during the surgery. The peculiarities of surgeries were application of template to dysplastic bone, resection within appropriate contour and subsequent cranioplasty with customized cranial implant. After surgery, we performed CT and analyzed deviations between postoperative and virtual skull. Reconstruction quality was assessed evaluating cranial asymmetry by means of craniometric analysis.
Results: Craniometric measurements of asymmetry proved the effectiveness of surgical skull correction. The part comparison analysis of skull models after a computer-assisted planning and operations revealed convenience and predictability of the chosen approach.
Conclusion: The developed complex of preoperative computer-assisted planning and modeling significantly improved resection and cranioplasty quality.

Simultaneous optimization of multiple plans within one treatment course with dosimetric pathfinding for temporally feathered radiation therapy.

Division of Medical Radiation Physics and Department of Radiation Oncology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital and University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Background: Radiotherapy workflows conventionally deliver one treatment plan multiple times throughout the treatment course. Non-coplanar techniques with beam angle optimization or dosimetrically optimized pathfinding (DOP) exploit additional degrees of freedom to improve spatial conformality of the dose distribution compared to widely used techniques like volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The temporal dimension of dose delivery can be exploited using multiple plans (sub-plans) within one treatment course.

Purpose: This study aims to assess percentage of automated AIO plans that met clinical treatment standards of radiotherapy plans generated by the fully automated All-in-one (AIO) process.
Methods: The study involved 117 rectal cancer patients who underwent AIO treatment. Fully automated regions of interest (ROI) and treatment plans were developed without manual intervention, comparing them to manually generated plans used in clinical practice.
Possibility of increasing linear energy transfer in multi-ion radiotherapy for bone and soft tissue sarcomas.

Department of Accelerator and Medical Physics, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), Chiba, Japan.
Background: Multi-ion radiotherapy using carbon, oxygen, and neon ions aims to improve local control by increasing dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) in the target. However, there has been limited understanding of how to utilize variables for multi-ion treatment planning such as the selection and arrangement of ion species.
Purpose: An in silico study was conducted to explore the feasibility of increasing a minimum LET, and the optimal selection and arrangement of ion species in multi-ion therapy for increasing LET in tumors of varying sizes mimicking bone and soft tissue sarcomas (BSTS).
Optimizing dose rate to minimize delivery time in proton pencil beam dose-driven continuous scanning.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Mayo Clinic in Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Background: Dose-driven continuous scanning (DDCS) enhances the efficiency and precision of proton pencil beam delivery by reducing beam pauses inherent in discrete spot scanning (DSS). However, current DDCS optimization studies using traveling salesman problem (TSP) formulations often rely on fixed beam intensity and computationally expensive interpolation for move spot generation, limiting efficiency and methodological robustness.
Purpose: This study introduces a Break Spot-Guided (BSG) method, combined with two acceleration strategies-dose rate skipping and bounding-to optimize beam intensity while minimizing beam delivery time (BDT).

Purpose: Real‑time magnetic resonance-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) integrates MRI with a linear accelerator (Linac) for gating and adaptive radiotherapy, which requires robust image‑quality assurance over a large field of view (FOV). Specialized phantoms capable of accommodating this extensive FOV are therefore essential. This study compares the performance of four commercial MRI phantoms on a 0.
