Contrast-enhanced single-energy CT (SECT) scans provide superior image contrast and better differentiation of the target volume and vascular structures compared to non-contrast CT scans at the cost of deteriorated dose calculation due to the high density of t...
Spine stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an emerging standard of care for patients with symptomatic spinal metastatic disease. The accuracy of target volume delineation is of critical importance for safe and effective spine SBRT. The adjacent norma...
Ensuring precise delivery of radiotherapy is paramount, especially in high dose rate settings where small deviations can create large, unplanned doses, jeopardizing patient safety and treatment outcome. Current dosimetry and QA methods operate on signals anal...
With the advent of pencil beam scanning in proton therapy, the necessity of a gantry has become less compelling. More broadly, gantry-less proton therapy systems offer a potential pathway to reduce system complexity, footprint, and cost, thereby improving pat...
Radiation therapy–associated cardiac arrhythmia is a clinically significant complication of thoracic RT, with important consequences for long-term cardiovascular health and treatment outcomes. Although arrhythmia risk evolves over time and is linked to cardia...
