Coronary artery (CA) calcifications (CACs) connect upstream cardiovascular risks with downstream radiotherapy planning decisions, yet these powerful imaging biomarkers are underutilized in radiation oncology. We developed and validated an opportunistic screen...
Cardiotoxicity is a devastating complication of cancer treatment. Notably, the heart is complex and dose to cardiac substructures (CS) have been strongly linked to radiation-induced cardiac morbidity. The physicist-led, NIH-funded “THE cARdiac Radiation Thera...
Upright patient positioners coupled with diagnostic-quality vertical CTs at treatment isocenter introduce significant opportunities for online adaptive particle therapy. However, limited upright data constrains our ability to rigorously test and optimize this...
