Real-time dose verification remains a critical unmet need in radiation therapy. We developed physics-informed AI models for radiacoustic imaging (RAI) to enable quantitative, real-time in vivo dose monitoring for proton therapy. Our approach addresses two big...
Proton therapy is an increasingly adopted cancer treatment due to its high dose conformity enabled by the Bragg peak (BP), reducing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. However, this steep dose gradient makes treatment accuracy highly sensitive t...
Protoacoustic (PA) imaging enables real-time verification of proton dose deposition by reconstructing 3D initial pressure maps from acoustic signals generated during proton delivery. However, in practical treatment settings, detectors cannot fully surround th...
