Area of Science:

  • Medical physics
  • Radiotherapy research
  • Preclinical imaging

Background:

  • Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) offers potential advantages for cancer treatment.
  • Preclinical studies in rodents are crucial for advancing MRT techniques.
  • Accurate sample positioning is essential for effective MRT delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and validate an image-guided protocol for small-animal MRT at the Australian Synchrotron's Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL).
  • To enable precise, automated sample alignment for preclinical MRT trials.
  • To ensure accurate treatment delivery with high spatial accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a semi-automated image guidance protocol using low-dose monochromatic imaging (50 keV).
  • Implementation of a beamline mode change for switching between imaging and treatment beams.
  • Validation using phantoms and 3D PRESAGE® dosimeters to assess alignment accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Achieved sub-100 µm 3D sample alignment accuracy.
  • Demonstrated maintenance of spatial accuracy (100 µm) after beamline mode change.
  • Experimental validation confirmed the protocol's viability for preclinical MRT.

Conclusions:

  • The developed image-guided MRT protocol is effective for small-animal studies.
  • The protocol ensures precise sample alignment and accurate treatment delivery.
  • This approach supports the progression of MRT research towards clinical applications.
