To develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for the classification of benign versus malignant findings on 18F-PSMA PET/CT imaging. It was applied in patients with biochemical recurrent (BCr) prostate cancer (PCa), using post-therapy follow-up (FU) imag...
Proton pencil-beam scanning (PBS) FLASH radiotherapy requires dosimetry systems capable of accurate and reliable operation under ultra high dose rate (UHDR) conditions. Faraday cups (FC) and multi-layer Faraday cups (MLFC) are dose-rate-independent charge col...
Therapy Physics
Accurate evaluation of near-wall hemodynamic metrics, i.e. wall shear stress (WSS), time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), and oscillatory shear index (OSI), is critical for understanding vascular disease progression. These indices depend on spatial derivat...
This session will present three of the most recently published or approved for publication Task Group or Scientific Reports under the Therapy Physics Committee. These report have not been presented before to the membership. These documents have already been r...
Therapy Physics
Task Group (TG) reports are without any doubt one of the most important scientific deliverables of the AAPM. The number of TG reports especially under Therapy Physics Committee (TPC) has exponentially increased the last few year. However, challenges and compl...
