Joint Optimization of Spot Position and Weight In Peak-Plane for Proton Radiation Therapy

Conventional intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) planning commonly relies on fixed, uniformly distributed spot grids with optimization restricted to spot weights. Although adaptive spot placement has been explored to improv...

Joint Spectrum Estimation and Material Decomposition for One-Kvp-Switching Dual-Energy CBCT Using Implicit Neural Representations (JSEMD-INR)

Standard Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) enables cost-effective Dual-Energy CT (DECT) via a one-kVp-switching protocol(switching energy once in the middle of a full scan), but inherently suffers from geometry-inconsistent data acquisition an...
