Commissioning of VMAT-TBI
Published:
I started to develop, test and validate an advanced treatment procedure for total body irradiation (TBI) using multi-isocenter VMAT. Before the commissioning of our new cancer center, I grokked and adapted an open source VMAT-TBI ESAPI algorithm from one of the Rutgers Alumni Dr. Eric Siemele.

Treatment plans were done in-silico on several anthropomorphic whole-body phantoms and three real patients simulated in our center. The treatment plans were then evaluated according to multi-institute experience. An end-to-end test was performed on a Rando phantom. The feasibility of using SGRT to setup VMAT-TBI patients was validated. Please click here for our institutional experience.
