    Lattice Radiotherapy (LRT) is a technique in which heterogeneous doses are delivered to the target so large tumors can have optimal doses of radiation without compromising healthy tissue sparing. lb date, case reports and case series documented its application for bulky tumors mainly in the pelvic region. LRT not only provides dosimetric advantages but also promotes tumor control by triggering some radiobiological and immunological pathways. We report two cases of giant liver metastases for whom other treatment options were not suitable. We treated both patients with Magnetic Resonance Image-Guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT) with online adaptive LRT (OALRT) technique. Adaptive plans were generated before each fraction. Tumors were observed to have regressed interfractionally so the location and number of spheres were adapted to tumor size and daily anatomy of the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). Both patients had good treatment compliance without any Grade 3+ side effects. They are both under follow-up and report improvement. By reporting the first application of OALRT by using MRgRT in liver metastases, we show that MRgRT is a promising modality for LRT technique with better target and OAR visualization as well as online adaptive planning before each fraction according to the daily anatomy of the patient.

    Multichannel Film Dosimetry for Quality Assurance of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Treatment Plans Under 0.35 T Magnetic Field
    (CUREUS INC, 2020-01-01) Gungor, Gorkem; Korkmaz, Latif; Kayalilar, Namik; Aydin, Gokhan; Yapici, Bulent; Mustafayev, Teuta Zoto; Atalar, Banu; Ozyar, Enis
    Purpose To evaluate the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) quality assurance (OA) results of the multichannel film dosimetry analysis with single scan method by using Gafchromic (TM) EBT3 (Ashland Inc., Covington, KY, USA) film under 0.35 T magnetic field. Methods Between September 2018 and June 2019, 70 patients were treated with ViewRay MRldian (R) (ViewRay Inc., Mountain View, CA) linear accelerator (Linac). Film dosimetry OA plans were generated for all IMRT treatments. Multichannel film dosimetry for red, green and blue (RGB) channels were compared with treatment planning system (TPS) dose maps by gamma evaluation analysis. Results The mean gamma passing rates of RGB channels are 97.3\% +/- 2.26\%, 96.0\% +/- 3.27\% and 96.2\% +/- 3.14\% for gamma evaluation with 2\% DD/2 mm distance to agreement (DTA), respectively. Moreover, the mean gamma passing rates of RGB channels are 99.7\% +/- 0.41\%, 99.6\% +/- 0.59\% and 99.5\% +/- 0.67\% for gamma evaluation with 3\% DD/3 mm DTA, respectively. Conclusion The patient specific QA using Gafchromic (TM) EBT3 film with multichannel film dosimetry seems to he a suitable tool to implement for MR-guided IMRT treatments under 0.35 T magnetic field. Multichannel film dosimetry with Gafchromic (TM) EBT3 is a consistent QA tool for gamma evaluation of the treatment plans even with 2\% DD/2 mm DTA under 0.35 T magnetic field presence.
