Team Aussie 🇦🇺 at #ReCOG. Definitely lots of collective work/ opportunities (eg reirradiation registry) to improve ReRT Down Under!

It’s a full house as we kick off this international effort to tackle the complex problem of re-irradiation. Thank you to our guests and experts from around the world to @UMich. Thrilled to host this incredibly important event! @ASTRO_org @aapmHQ @ESTRO_RT @UMichRadOnc

What happens when you ask 24 centres to evaluate cumulative dose for the same #ReIrradiation cases? A lot of discrepancy, that's what you get!
Our paper on intercentre variation in reirradiation dose accumulation is out @RadiotherapyOn1 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Public data is adequate for AI segmentation of many head & neck organs, performance can be improved with the addition of institutional data. Interesting work on differences in AI trained with publicly available or institutional data. @HardcastleNick aapm.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…

We know that #ReIrradiation is super challenging - especially estimating cumulative doses to normal tissues. There is no standard approach, and people use many different methods in clinical practice; from point max dose sums to full 3D dose mapping

Are you in the Dose Accumulation & Dose Prediction session? If not, why not??? You need to hear about our study of intercentre variation in re-irradiation dose accumulation! @elivaos and I will be doing a double act 🎭

#EarlyView #OpenAccess: Compliance with #SABR quality recommendations
💡respondents reported good compliance with most of the @RANZCRcollege guidelines
💡tasks with lowest compliance were those that monitor #quality outcomes

Big thanks to my hardworking colleagues at @PeterMacRadOnc & to participants in the @VarianANZ Motion Management Clinical School @PeterMacCC last weekend. We all learned from great discussion with a very engaged group of RTs & physicists & look forward to the next one!

Dose mapping/accumulation in RT: Are we ready to do it everyday and for every single patient? Read our position paper in the #greenjournal resulting from lively & insightful discussions started at @ESTRO_RT physics workshop '21 thegreenjournal.com/article/… not in twitter MMurr, JYuen

Thanks to @CancerVic for the support of our upright RT project. We plan to improve comfort of #RT through better patient positioning. Looking forward to working with multi-d team and our patients and consumers such as @WinterLora to make this happen @PeterMacRadOnc
3 Mar 2022
Soon cancer patients will receive radiotherapy in a more comfortable position as part of a new @PeterMacCC project through a $3.9 million dollar funding from @CancerVic's research grant program.

what a great way to kick off #SABR2019. @CGlideHurst with a really thorough overview from the frontlines of online adaptive RT with #mrlinac. Lots of interdisciplinary collab to make this happen each fraction but clearly worth it
