Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer, excluding skin cancer, and results in significant genitourinary toxicity. Rectal gas buildup has exacerbated this by changing simulated patient anatomy and introducing tissue inhomogeneity. We are investigati...

From Diagnostic CT to Treatment: Evaluating the Feasibility of a Simulation-Free Pipeline In a Regional Healthcare Network
In a typical radiation therapy treatment planning workflow, a CT simulation scan is acquired. This scan is an anatomical mapping of the patient, allowing for the delineation of both the tumor and organs that should be avoided during the treatment. Simulation...

Feasibility Study - Extending the Clinical Utility of Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs)
While Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) are widely used in clinical radiotherapy, their utility is typically limited to an accumulated dose of 10 Gy due to the filling of deep electron traps that causes sensitivity changes. This study evalua...
