Schultheiss T, Wong J, Liu A, Olivera G, Somlo G
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys . 2007 Mar; 67(4):1259-67. PMID: 17336225
Purpose: To develop a treatment technique to spare normal tissue and allow dose escalation in total body irradiation (TBI). We have developed intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques for the total marrow irradiation...

Hui S, Kapatoes J, Fowler J, Henderson D, Olivera G, Manon R, et al.
Med Phys . 2005 Nov; 32(10):3214-24. PMID: 16279075
Total body radiation (TBI) has been used for many years as a preconditioning agent before bone marrow transplantation. Many side effects still plague its use. We investigated the planning and...

Jeraj R, Mackie T, Balog J, Olivera G
Med Phys . 2005 Mar; 32(2):570-7. PMID: 15789604
Current dosimetric protocols based on the absorbed dose (AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398 protocols) require calibration measurements under reference conditions. For some radiotherapy systems, this requirement cannot be met, and...

Jeraj R, Mackie T, Balog J, Olivera G, Pearson D, Kapatoes J, et al.
Med Phys . 2004 Mar; 31(2):396-404. PMID: 15000626
Helical tomotherapy is a dedicated intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) system with on-board imaging capability (MVCT) and therefore differs from conventional treatment units. Different design goals resulted in some distinctive...

Balog J, Olivera G, Kapatoes J
Med Phys . 2004 Jan; 30(12):3097-106. PMID: 14713076
Helical tomotherapy presented many unique dosimetric challenges and solutions during the initial commissioning process, and some of them are presented. The dose calculation algorithm is convolution/superposition based. This requires that...

Rockwell Mackie T, Kapatoes J, Ruchala K, Lu W, Wu C, Olivera G, et al.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys . 2003 Apr; 56(1):89-105. PMID: 12694827
Purpose: To review the state of the art in image-guided precision conformal radiotherapy and to describe how helical tomotherapy compares with the image-guided practices being developed for conventional radiotherapy. Materials...
