Manual plan checking is time-consuming and prone to variability across reviewers. To improve consistency and reliability in the plan-check workflow, we developed a fully automated RayStation plan-check system that performs more than 30 checks across eight key...

Linear accelerator (LINAC) coordinate system conventions have historically evolved heterogeneously, with vendors and institutions adopting mixed non-IEC standards. While clinically functional, this lack of uniformity introduces added complexity and potential...

Proton radiation therapy (PRT) is an effective modality for ocular cancers. Substantial evidence indicates that proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) increases with linear energy transfer (LET). In vitro DNA double-strand break (DSB) and cell surviva...

A web-based quality assurance (QA) management platform can reduce clinic hardware and software needs while streamlining QA workflows through improved accessibility, trend tracking, and automated failure notifications. This study reports on the implementation...

VMAT total body irradiation (TBI) planning is complex and time-intensive, involving multiple isocenters, junction management, and iterative hotspot control. Many automation approaches still require repeated user interaction, limiting efficiency gains. This wo...

This study assesses whether log-file based patient-specific QA can reliably substitute for measurement-based QA by evaluating correlations between detector-based and log-file based gamma pass rates across multiple plan types and gamma criteria.
