Cerebellar re-irradiation after whole brain radiotherapy significant symptom relief with minimal toxicity in metastatic brain patients by Ory Haisraely, Marcia Jaffe, Yaacov Richard Lawerence, Alicia Talianksy, Alicia Taliansky

“…Abstract Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) remains a standard treatment for extensive brain metastases, providing symptom relief and improved progression-free survival (PFS). Re-irradiation is often necessary for recurrent disease, particularly in the cerebellum, which accounts for 10–20% of cases. …”

A Criterion-based Approach for the Systematic and Transparent Extrapolation of Clinical Trial Survival Data by Gabriel Tremblay, Patrick Haines, Andrew Briggs

“…**Background:** Trial data often does not cover a sufficiently long period of time to truly capture time-toevent endpoints, however, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies often require overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) estimates. Often, significant survival effects are found beyond the time period observed in clinical trials, thus, extrapolation of trial results is required for health economic and HTA evaluations. …”

Flexible and cost-effective deep learning for accelerated multi-parametric relaxometry using phase-cycled bSSFP by Florian Birk, Lucas Mahler, Julius Steiglechner, Qi Wang, Klaus Scheffler, Rahel Heule

“…In this study, feed-forward deep neural network (DNN)- and iterative fitting-based frameworks are compared for multi-parametric (MP) relaxometry based on phase-cycled balanced steady-state free precession (pc-bSSFP) imaging. The performance of supervised DNNs (SVNN), self-supervised physics-informed DNNs (PINN), and an iterative fitting framework termed motion-insensitive rapid configuration relaxometry (MIRACLE) was evaluated in silico and in vivo in brain tissue of healthy subjects, including Monte Carlo sampling to simulate noise. …”
