However, overlaps between planning target volume (PTV) and dose-limiting organs at risk (OARs) often force compromises in PTV-coverage. Overlap-guided adaptive fractionation (AF) leverages daily variations in PTV\/OAR overlap to improve PTV-coverage by administering variable fraction doses based on measured overlap volume. This study aims to assess the potential benefits of overlap-guided AF.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n                    We analyzed 58 patients with abdominal\/pelvic tumors having received five-fraction MR-guided SBRT (\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>\n                        \n                      <\/jats:tex-math>\n                      <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\">\n                        <mml:mrow>\n                          <mml:mo>&gt;<\/mml:mo>\n                        <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <\/mml:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    6\u2009Gy\/fraction), in whom PTV-overlap with at least one dose-limiting OAR (bowel, duodenum, stomach) occurred in\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>\n                        \n                      <\/jats:tex-math>\n                      <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\">\n                        <mml:mrow>\n                          <mml:mtext>\u2a7e<\/mml:mtext>\n                        <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <\/mml:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    1 fraction.

AF aims to reduce this underdosage by delivering higher doses to the PTV on days with less overlap volume, lower doses on days with more. PTV-coverage-gain compared to uniform fractionation was quantified by the area above the PTV dose-volume-histogram-curve and expressed in ccGy (1ccGy = 1cc receiving 1\u2009Gy more). The optimal dose for each fraction was determined through dynamic programming by formulating AF as a Markov decision process.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    PTV\/OAR overlap volume variation (standard deviation) varied substantially between patients (0.02\u20135.76cc). Algorithm-based calculations showed that 55 of 58 patients benefited in PTV-coverage from AF. Mean cohort benefit was 2.93ccGy (range \u22124.44 (disadvantage) to 22.42ccGy). Higher PTV\/OAR overlap variation correlated with larger AF benefit.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Overlap-guided AF for abdominal\/pelvic SBRT is a promising strategy to improve PTV-coverage without compromising OAR sparing. Since the benefit of AF depends on PTV\/OAR overlap variation\u2013which is low in many patients\u2013the mean cohort advantage is modest. However, well-selected patients with marked PTV\/OAR overlap variation derive a relevant dosimetric benefit. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate AF feasibility and quantify clinical benefits.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/ae3fff","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]],"date-time":"2026-01-30T22:54:41Z","timestamp":1769813681000},"page":"035019","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Overlap guided adaptive fractionation"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"71","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4282-0643","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yoel","family":"P\u00e9rez Haas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-0168-2125","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lena","family":"Kretzschmar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bertrand","family":"Pouymayou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Tanadini-Lang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Unkelbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbae3fffbib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrobp.2015.10.015","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Online magnetic resonance image guided adaptive radiation therapy: first clinical applications","volume":"94","author":"Acharya","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int.
