We investigate the feasibility of using daily setup free-breathing cone-beam CT (CBCT) as a functional imaging modality to generate longitudinal ventilation maps throughout the treatment course, with the goal of detecting emerging lung function impairment dur...
Current AAPM guidelines (TG-104 and MPPG 2.b) primarily address kV or standard MV portal beams for imaging and are not well suited for low-dose-rate 2.5 MV imaging beams, particularly in establishing dose and image quality baselines. This study developed and...
Inferior CBCT quality from artifacts or incomplete data can compromise anatomy visualization during Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), increasing uncertainty in target localization and organ-at-risk positioning. Improving CBCT reconstruction can enable more re...
To develop a kV-triggered short-arc intrafraction motion monitoring technique for prostate SBRT VMAT by enabling on-treatment reconstruction of a 3D prostate and nearby organs-at-risk (OARs) volume within seconds. We propose an iterative short-arc CBCT recons...
Electronic portal imaging devices (EPID) are widely used clinically for patient-specific quality assurance (QA). Anticipating potential failures can help prioritize measurements to assess the need for plan revision and avoid downstream workflow disruptions. W...
Single-isocenter multiple-target (SIMT) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) presents significant dosimetric challenges for patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA). Standard complexity metrics often fail to predict deliverability for these complex plans. This st...
