We evaluate the performance of a 4-channel plastic scintillator for real-time dose monitoring during VMAT total body irradiations (TBI).

Requiring a radiation oncologist (RO) to be physically present during online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) constrains scheduling and limits patient access. We have developed and implemented a prescribed workflow to delegate contour review and plan approval...

Evidence from randomized trials demonstrates improved memory, cognition, and quality of life in patients whose hippocampi are spared during radiotherapy (RT) to the brain. We present a RapidPlan (RP) model for high-grade glioma RT planning that includes hippo...

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are promising radiosensitizing agents for high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR); however, complex treatment delivery for HDR has prohibited systematic evaluation of GNP-induced radiosensitization both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we use...

Foundation models are general-purpose, adaptable deep learning models trained on vast amounts of data. Despite unprecedented performance in language and vision tasks, their utility for predicting patient outcomes remains to be explored. This retrospective stu...

In the current Oncology HHR crisis, existing training programs cannot keep up with demand for trained and certified medical physicists. The conventional residency pathway is not keeping up with market demand, resulting in unfilled positions and unsustainable...
