Article Abstract
Purpose: MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) on the MR-linac (MRL) with daily online plan adaptation enables better control of inter-fraction variability. Recently, Comprehensive Motion Management (CMM) was introduced for the 1.5T MRL. CMM halts dose delivery when the target moves outside its defined position and allows for target drift corrections, compensating for intra-fraction variability. This study aims to report the first clinical experience with prostate MRgRT using CMM, focusing on intra-fraction motion management and treatment delivery time.
Material And Methods: Sixty patients with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer were treated with the 1.5T MRL using CMM. PTV margins were 5 mm in all directions, with a 3-mm margin posteriorly. Fifty patients received ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (SBRT), and 10 received hypofractionated radiotherapy (hypoRT). The CMM threshold was set to 100% of the GTV volume.
Results: A total of 450 treatment fractions were administered. The median beam-on time was 10.3 min, with a median duty cycle of 98.9% (95% CI 98.6-99.2%). Beam hold occurred in 158 fractions (35%), with an average of 24.5 instances per fraction (95% CI 16-32). Thirty-two baseline shift replans were performed. Both acute and late toxicities were low, with no Grade 3 or higher toxicities.
Conclusions: CMM has been successfully implemented in MRgRT. In-treatment corrections and baseline shift replanning did not significantly impact treatment time, enhancing treatment quality without compromising patient compliance or treatment feasibility. The low incidence of beam-hold events suggests that CMM could potentially allow for a safe reduction in PTV margins.

Arthroplasty surgery is a common and successful end-stage intervention for advanced osteoarthritis. Yet, postoperative outcomes vary significantly among patients, leading to a plethora of measures and associated measurement approaches to monitor patient outcomes. Traditional approaches rely heavily on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are widely used, but often lack sensitivity to detect function changes (e.

This narrative review analyzes current evidence comparing single-session and two-session approaches in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. These ultra-hypofractionated strategies deliver high-precision ablative doses while minimizing exposure to normal tissues. SBRT regimens with fewer than five fractions show tumor control comparable to conventional treatments, offering reduced treatment burden and increased convenience.

Purpose: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the most commonly used technique for target localization in radiation therapy. Four-dimensional CBCT (4D CBCT) is valuable for localizing tumors in the lung and liver regions, where the localization accuracy is affected by respiratory motions. However, in image-guided radiation therapy for organs subject to respiratory motion, position verification is often performed using 3D cone beam CT or 2D X-ray images.
