Bedford J, Convery H, Hansen V, Saran F
Br J Radiol . 2012 Jan; 85(1016):1128-33. PMID: 22215885
Objectives: The processes involved in the treatment of paraspinal tumours by volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are described here by means of an illustrative case. Methods: Az single anticlockwise arc...

Roberts D, Hansen V, Thompson M, Poludniowski G, Niven A, Seco J, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2011 Jul; 56(14):4453-64. PMID: 21719950
Computed tomography images have been acquired using an experimental (low atomic number (Z) insert) megavoltage cone-beam imaging system. These images have been compared with standard megavoltage and kilovoltage imaging systems....

Poludniowski G, Evans P, Hansen V, Webb S
Phys Med Biol . 2009 Jun; 54(12):3847-64. PMID: 19491449
A new method is proposed for scatter-correction of cone-beam CT images. A coarse reconstruction is used in initial iteration steps. Modelling of the x-ray tube spectra and detector response are...

Trapp J, Partridge M, Hansen V, Childs P, Bedford J, Warrington A, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2004 May; 49(9):1625-35. PMID: 15152920
In recent years there has been a large amount of research into the potential use of radiation sensitive gels for three-dimensional verification of clinical radiotherapy doses. In this paper we...

McNair H, Parker C, Hansen V, Askew L, Mukherjee R, Nutting C, et al.
Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol) . 2004 Apr; 16(2):138-47. PMID: 15074738
Aims: As the trend towards more conformal treatment continues, the accuracy of treatment delivery becomes more important. Conventionally, treatment set-up for prostate cancer patients is verified in relation to the...

Evans P, Donovan E, Partridge M, Childs P, Convery D, Eagle S, et al.
Radiother Oncol . 2000 Oct; 57(1):79-89. PMID: 11033192
Background And Purpose: To develop a method of using a multileaf collimator (MLC) to deliver intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for tangential breast fields, using an MLC to deliver a set...

Spies L, Evans P, Partridge M, Hansen V, Bortfeld T
Med Phys . 2000 Apr; 27(3):462-71. PMID: 10757598
In this study a direct measurement of scatter in portal imaging for various air gaps and scatterer thicknesses at a beam energy of 6 MV is presented. The experimental data...

Evans P, Donovan E, Fenton N, Hansen V, Moore I, Partridge M, et al.
Radiother Oncol . 1999 Mar; 49(3):255-65. PMID: 10075258
Background And Purpose: A method of using electronic portal imaging to design compensators for tangential breast irradiation has been developed. We describe how this has been implemented. Materials And Methods:...

Br J Radiol . 1998 Nov; 71(848):876-81. PMID: 9828802
A formula for the calculation of tissue-maximum ratio (TMR) from percentage depth dose (PDD) and peak scatter factor (PSF) is derived from first principles using a simple geometric model for...
