Persistent difficulty in recruiting therapeutic medical physicists, particularly outside large metropolitan and/or academic centers, suggests a geographic mismatch between training locations and workforce demand. While residency programs have expanded nationa...
Vacuum cradles/bags (VC) combined with head and leg immobilization are commonly used for prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment setup. Removing the VC may offer practical advantages for efficient patient positioning, comfort, and high-qualit...
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) provides spatially resolved metabolic information but remains constrained by long acquisition times, particularly for X-nuclei applications with low sensitivity. Parallel imaging methods such as GRAPPA have been...
Daily re-planning based on warm-start optimization is a common strategy for online adaptive radiotherapy. This method is beneficial in cases when differences between the reference and daily anatomy are within a limited range. We quantify the effects of this s...
