Accurate precise planning and delivery of linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be technically challenging and stressful. Thus, it is important to develop a streamlined clinical workflow to increase efficiency, accuracy and precision of the treatment

To introduce a conditional Wavelet Diffusion framework incorporating depth-wise convolution for efficient high-resolution 3D medical image synthesis, and to evaluate its performance on MRI cross-modality translation and CT texture generation for realistic dig...

Accurate deformable image registration (DIR) between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) remains a significant challenge in gynecologic brachytherapy, particularly between images acquired with and without a brachytherapy applicator i...

The Elekta Comprehensive Motion Management (CMM) system enables real-time monitoring of tumor motion with high temporal resolution and accuracy. Using histogram analysis of tumor positional oscillations, we propose a patient-specific gating strategy to maximi...

Universal CT number to mass density (CTN-to-MD) curves in large hospital networks with multiple CT simulators and treatment planning systems reduces the potential for error during photon treatment planning. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects o...

Pulmonary fluid changes often necessitate treatment replanning; however, associated mass variations compromise deformable dose accumulation (DDA) and complicate its evaluation. Accurate estimation of cumulative dose and its associated uncertainty is therefore...

This study aims to compare plan quality between helical photon and IMPT proton delivery platforms across multiple disease sites to evaluate whether helical plans could provide an effective and rapid backup to proton therapy.
