Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation(STAR) is a non-invasive method to treat cardiac arrhythmias by targeting aberrant cardiac tissue, however accurate dose delivery is challenging, given the proximity of the target to vital cardiac structures and the comple...

While real-time tracking devices have demonstrated benefits in clinical outcomes, their safe and effective implementation requires careful consideration. With errors more likely to result from system-wide flaws than isolated failures a systems engineering-bas...
During liver radiotherapy, respiratory-induced tumor motion can result in target underdose and increased irradiation of surrounding healthy tissue. Existing real-time image-guided approaches often require specialized equipment or invasive marker implantation...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates strong potential to enable real-time imaging for dose-guided adaptive radiation therapy (ART). However, real-time ART with MRI is limited by long latencies, requiring temporal prediction to achieve accurate treatm...
Targeting accuracy in stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often hindered by the poor soft-tissue visibility of tumors on standard image-guided radiotherapy using kilovoltage (kV) images. However, ~60% of HCC pa...
Functional imaging of the lung has found multiple clinical applications such as improving detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and improving outcomes in radiation therapy by sparing healthy tissue. CT Ventilation Imaging (CTVI) is a recently app...
