To develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect coronary artery calcium (CAC) on non-gated (free heartbeat and free breathing) simulation CT scans and evaluate the robustness of models trained on different datasets, including gated (ECG-gated with b...

Stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR) is an emerging treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT) that uses radiation to modulate cardiac electrophysiology (EP) and reduce VT. Registering radiation planning 3D imaging to cardiac optical maps will enable o...

Large-animal studies of stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR) are faced with financial and logistical difficulties that limit widespread implementation. We developed a single-platform STAR porcine workflow on an O-ring linac utilizing manual end-exhalat...

Proton plans are often homogenous with minimal hotspots, which may not be ideal for ablative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). A treatment planning approach for stereotactic body proton therapy (SBPT) is proposed to match the characteristics of phot...

It was critical yet impossible to quantitatively assess the impact of patient-specific cardiorespiratory motion on dose plans for stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) treatments. To fill the gap, a fast algorithm, SPM (spatial probability map), was de...

Managing cardiac and respiratory motion is critical for stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR), thoracic, and breast treatments. Breath-hold cardiac 4DCT (c4DCT) is commonly required for assessing cardiac motion, while respiratory 4DCT (r4DCT) is used fo...
