To quantify renal parenchyma functional changes in response to radiation dose for patients treated with kidney stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) by analyzing the paired pre- and post-treatment contrast-enhanced CT scans. We hypothesize that radiation indu...
Timely dose verification is essential for quality assurance (QA) in modern radiotherapy (RT), particularly in online adaptive RT, where measurement-based QA is often impractical. Current approaches are limited by machine/energy-specific designs, hindering sca...
AAPM Task Group 430 aims to comprehensively evaluate organ and effective dose (ED) estimations from whole body CT data to support recommendations for DLP-to-ED conversions factors and their associated uncertainties. Accurate whole-body organ segmentation is c...
Existing adaptive radiotherapy (ART) only accounts for inter-fraction variations in anatomy. Adapted plans can become suboptimal immediately due to anatomical changes during online planning and treatment delivery, degrading treatment quality and efficacy. To...
Treatment planning for MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) requires extensive time and effort in both preplanning and online adaptation processes. It is a major bottleneck hindering the efficiency and quality of MRgART. Specifically, extended preplanning...
