Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) reirradiation for locally recurrent brain metastases (BM) utilizes rigid image registration (RIR) for cumulative dose estimation to balance dose escalation against the risk of adverse radiation effects such as radionecrosis. Th...

Proton therapy offers superior therapeutic ratio due to its favorable dose distribution, but accurate dose calculation remains challenging. Current methods rely on either pencil-beam algorithms (fast but inaccurate in heterogeneous media) or Monte Carlo simul...
To evaluate whether signed distance field regression improves geometric fidelity in intracranial vessel segmentation from non-contrast vessel wall imaging (VWI).
To determine whether appearance-enhancing synthesis pipelines are sufficient for recovering a topologically coherent intracranial vessel tree from non-contrast MR vessel wall imaging (VWI), or whether explicit geometry-aware segmentation is required.
Penile vessels’ morphology and integrity are highly relevant to diagnosis and management of erectile dysfunction, as well as treatment planning for sexual function-sparing pelvic radiotherapy. Automatic segmentation of penile vessels on CT angiograms is chall...
