Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Temporary breast tissue expanders contain a metal port that can vary in position throughout the course of radiation treatments.In this study, the magnitude and the dosimetric effect of the inter-fractional positional variations of the metal port was quantified.The robustness of the three most common external beam treatment techniques (tangential 3DCRT, VMAT and helical Tomotherapy) was evaluated against the measured positional errors.Results showed that inter-fractional positional errors were generally small, but errors larger than 1.5 cm were also observed.The inter-fractional positional variations arise from a combination of internal port errors and patient registration errors.Patient registration errors were shown to have larger dosimetric effect on target coverage and nearby organs than internal port errors.VMAT and Tomotherapy treatments are more robust when patient registration errors are minimized.The misalignment of the metal port during patient registration is acceptable when a more optimal anatomy match can be achieved. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
