Steinfort D, Siva S, Leong T, Rose M, Herath D, Antippa P, et al.
Medicine (Baltimore) . 2016 Mar; 95(8):e2488. PMID: 26937894
Despite known limitations of positron emission tomography (PET) for mediastinal staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiation treatment fields are generally based on PET-identified disease extent. However, no studies...

Wen S, Everitt S, Bedo J, Chabrot M, Ball D, Solomon B, et al.
PLoS One . 2015 Nov; 10(11):e0142608. PMID: 26599227
There is renewed interest in the immune regulatory role of the spleen in oncology. To date, very few studies have examined macroscopic variations of splenic volume in the setting of...

Hardcastle N, Hofman M, Hicks R, Callahan J, Kron T, MacManus M, et al.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys . 2015 Aug; 93(1):196-204. PMID: 26279034
Purpose: Measuring changes in lung perfusion resulting from radiation therapy dose requires registration of the functional imaging to the radiation therapy treatment planning scan. This study investigates registration accuracy and...

Siva S, Hardcastle N, Kron T, Bressel M, Callahan J, MacManus M, et al.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys . 2015 Aug; 93(2):408-17. PMID: 26275510
Purpose: To investigate (68)Ga-ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) as a novel imaging modality for assessment of perfusion, ventilation, and lung density changes in the context of radiation...

Siva S, Chesson B, Callahan J, Hardcastle N, Crawford L, Antippa P, et al.
J Thorac Oncol . 2015 Jul; 10(7):1112-5. PMID: 26134229
Introduction: Lung tumor delineation is frequently performed using 3D positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), particularly in the radiotherapy treatment planning position, by generating an internal target volume (ITV) from...

Siva S, Thomas R, Callahan J, Hardcastle N, Pham D, Kron T, et al.
Radiother Oncol . 2015 May; 115(2):157-62. PMID: 25935743
Background And Purpose: To assess the utility of functional lung avoidance using IMRT informed by four-dimensional (4D) ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) PET/CT. Materials And Methods: In a prospective clinical trial, patients with...

Siva S, Callahan J, Kron T, Chesson B, Barnett S, MacManus M, et al.
Acta Oncol . 2015 Apr; 54(8):1105-12. PMID: 25833329
Background: Response assessment after stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) in lung can be confounded by radiation-induced inflammation, fibrosis and subsequent alteration of tumour motion. The purpose of this prospective pilot...

Khor R, Bressel M, Tedesco J, Tai K, Ball D, Duchesne G, et al.
Med J Aust . 2015 Feb; 202(3):153-5. PMID: 25669479
Objectives: To assess the tolerability and survival outcome of curative radiotherapy in patients over the age of 85 years. Design, Setting, And Participants: Retrospective analysis of all patients aged over...

Steinfort D, Siva S, Kron T, Chee R, Ruben J, Ball D, et al.
J Thorac Oncol . 2015 Jan; 10(2):324-30. PMID: 25616177
Introduction: Fiducial markers act as visible surrogates of tumor position during image-guided radiotherapy. Marker placement has been attempted percutaneously but is associated with high rates of pneumothorax and chest drain...

Siva S, Devereux T, Ball D, MacManus M, Hardcastle N, Kron T, et al.
Technol Cancer Res Treat . 2015 Jan; 15(1):114-21. PMID: 25575575
Background: Ga-68-macroaggregated albumin ((68)Ga-perfusion) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a novel imaging technique for the assessment of functional lung volumes. The purpose of this study was to use this...
