So when you do 4DCT on your glottics, how do the waveforms look when they swallow?Is this a training era thing? Why do you refuse to use 4D? It doesn’t make sense. Old dogs can learn new tricks!

its a medgator strawman. no one does that.Ok someone explain 4DCT on the glottis. I tried not to say anything but I am sticking my… neck out.
Seriously dude, try to keep up:its a medgator strawman. no one does that.

that guy was being sarcastic…![]()

I am currently a hospital employee, a few years out BC. I work in a small town (no prior connections here, no family, etc). The practice is good with new machines, good support staff, good morale among department, I do a lot of SBRT/SRS/IMRT. I am paid well at MGMA median. I recently met with a...forums.studentdoctor.net
Obviously.... But he got my drift and came up with the "strawman" @jondunnthat guy was being sarcastic…
I heard KHE was just hired as the mediator!Did I hear that representatives of jondunn and medgator are meeting in Istanbul today?
Well written. Are you saying the 'E' in KHE stands for Erdogan? I always kinda wondered.They met in Istanbul, over a pot of rich Turkish coffee. Gator, wearing his usual t-shirt and nothing else (commonly referred to as 'shirtcocking' or "Winnie The Pooh-ing") had a sheepish ****-eating grin plastered on his face. Dunn, appeared visibly angry while popping laxatives like one would pop Tic Tacs. The mediator was KHE88, who was allowed to come off of his traveling mobile linac by his partner (who's kidding who, his boss), Todd Scarborough. KHE88, as we all know, was made of money. But we found out that was to be taken literally. His DNA from a recent 23 and Me test revealed that he was 4% USD. The mediation started with recriminations and accusations ...
Not sure that's the most unbiased choice....I heard KHE was just hired as the mediator!
.
He'd probably hate you both evenly.Not sure that's the most unbiased choice....
Perhaps an armistice...
4D for H&N -no
4D for lung (you know, that thing that actually creates respiratory motion) -yes
Agree?
I mean, TECHNICALLY, unless your CTSIM is instantaneous, all scans are 4D. You're always working off an AIP whether you want to or not.
With 2.5mm slice thickness and 20-30 seconds for a sim scan to complete, what we're looking at is just an estimation of reality. Your TPS is just doing some math to slap colors on your AIP and tricks you into thinking you "know" what dose the patient is getting.
You don't know. Nobody knows. We're all just an imagination of ourselves.

You really dont wanna miss clivus, posterior third of maxillary sinus/nasal choana, foramen ovale/rotundum, etc.I don’t 4D stage 1 glottic but you’re ****ing insane if you aren’t doing 4D on your nasopharynx cases
You really dont wanna miss clivus, posterior third of maxillary sinus/nasal choana, foramen ovale/rotundum, etc.
You don't put Calypso beacons in the clivus?You really dont wanna miss clivus, posterior third of maxillary sinus/nasal choana, foramen ovale/rotundum, etc.
I use DIBH, rectal ballons and space OAR.of course 2 CBCT’s during treatment with calypso and 5 beacons. My partner likes to do daily MRI’s with adaptive planning between arcs.You don't put Calypso beacons in the clivus?
Amateur. I'm a true Master of the Beam, I put two beacons in the clivus and lodge one in the hypoglossal canal for triangulation.
Then I hydrodissect the fossa of Rosenmuller to reduce my temporal lobe dmax. I still haven't TECHNICALLY shown a significant improvement in patient reported tox, but there's a trend in the odds ratio, and my temporal lobe DVH is highly significantly better with my PEG-based spacer.

!!!!!!!I find I'm infrequently changing volumes based on 4D with typical bulky Stage III disease anyway. Small volume Stage III is a different story, particularly in lower lobe, but those are few and far between in my clinic.
