Minor and major errors may occur in both manual and automatic organ contouring process, such as mis-localization or severe under/over-segmentation. They can subsequently impact the accuracy of dose optimization and planning. This study aims to develop an auto...
The MIRAGE trial demonstrated reduced acute toxicity in intact prostate radiotherapy in MRI arm, partially attributed to the use of smaller PTV margins (2 mm versus 4 mm with CT guidance). Motivated by these findings, this study retrospectively evaluates whet...
Accurate patient setup in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) proton therapy is critical due to steep dose gradients, limited range robustness, and the frequent use of tight clinical target volume (CTV) margins. This study introduces a CT-on-Rails (CTOR)–base...
Lung tumors are poorly visible on conventional on-board 2D X-ray imaging due to limited soft-tissue contrast and overlapping anatomy, posing a challenge for patient setup on proton therapy systems equipped with 2D X-ray imaging. Our goal is to develop a novel...
