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...

Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) for proton therapy relies on routine offline CT simulations for updated anatomy. To facilitate online proton ART, we present our high‑fidelity regularized Brownian Bridge (rBBrg) framework to perform deterministic cross-modali...
