To assess the accuracy of empirical relative biological effectiveness (RBE) models in predicting variations in intrinsic radiosensitivity using a comprehensive dataset of clonogenic cell survival.
Current clinical toxicity models for predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis are limited by lack of functional information; furthermore, current practice assumes a relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 for proton therapy patients. We hypothesize tha...
The sensitivity of normal liver tissue raises concerns about potential liver function post-cancer treatment. We investigate whether liver radiomics features derived from standard CT-guided radiation therapy (RT) can improve acute functional liver decline pred...
