Glioblastoma (GBM) is a hyper vascular malignant tumour with a poor prognosis. Despite the availability of current chemotherapy and targeted therapies in GBM, not many therapeutic benefits have been achieved due to GBM developing drug resistance. Most therapies have...
PURPOSE: To implement Velocity-based image fusion and adaptive deformable registration to enable treatment planning for preclinical murine models of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) using the small animal radiation research platform (SARRP). METHODS AND...
PURPOSE: The main objective of radiobiology is to establish links between doses and radiation-induced biological effects. In this context, well-defined dosimetry protocols are crucial to the determination of experimental protocols. This work proposes a new dosimetry...
PURPOSE: Although small animal image-guided radiotherapy (SA-IGRT) systems are used increasingly in preclinical research, tools for performing routine quality assurance (QA) have not been optimized and are not readily available. Robust, efficient, and reliable QA...

Radiotherapy in the low-dose range with total doses of 5-6 Gy is in Germany an established method for the treatment of the pain symptoms in existing painful heel spurs. Most known results were achieved with orthovolt radiation. The answer to this question today is...
PURPOSE: The Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) has been developed for conformal microirradiation with on-board cone beam CT (CBCT) guidance. The graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated Superposition-Convolution (SC) method for dose computation has...
Chemotherapy has been successfully used to reduce radiation dose and volume for most pediatric patients. However, because of the failure of chemotherapeutic agents to cross the blood-brain barrier and the lack of response of some brain tumors to these agents,...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer is an aggressive disease with poor survival rates. A more patient-tailored approach based on predictive biomarkers could improve outcome. We aimed to predict radiotherapy (RT) response by imaging tumor hypoxia with 18F-FAZA PET/CT in an...
