Episcleral plaque brachytherapy is the standard eye-preserving treatment for medium-sized ocular melanoma (OM), yet dosimetric evaluation remains challenging due to steep dose gradients, plaque curvature, and anisotropic source geometry. This study presents a...
To quantify the accuracy of commercial dose calculation algorithms in lung SBRT planning and evaluate how lung density variations resulting from Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) versus 4DCT motion management techniques affect dosimetric agreement.
Ablative hypofractionated radiotherapy(AHRT), including stereotactic body radiotherapy(SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS), achieves tumor control that is not reliably predicted by Linear–Quadratic (LQ) model. Clinical observations of failure of BED equi...

To evaluate the clinical feasibility of an in-house AI-driven detection tool for brain metastases in Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Small or interval metastases are prone to oversight during initial radiologic review yet require identification during the pre-treat...
