A novel, low-cost 3D surface scanning system was developed using a custom modification of the laser-profiling technique. Proof of concept was demonstrated through 3D simulation in Blender 3D software. A real-world prototype was then implemented using a consum...
Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has undergone multiple technological transitions over the past two decades. This study evaluates long-term utilization trends at a single academic institution to assess whether GKRS has remained a durable and adaptable treatmen...
Conventional methods for testing proton pencil-beams require multiple quality assurance tools that lack efficiency and spatiotemporal resolutions. Here, we used our efficient ultra-high-resolution scintillation imaging system to verify that two gantry-mounted...
