Changing the Rhythm: How the Hearts Trial Is Redefining Cardiac Safety In Cancer Treatment
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...

Bridging Cone-Beam CT to Stopping Power Ratio Maps: A Brownian‑Bridge Approach to Support Robust Adaptive Proton Therapy
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...
