This study quantifies how two inverse optimization-based planning parameters: dwell time deviation constraint (DTDC) and active step size (AS) affect target coverage, dose heterogeneity, and organ‑at‑risk (OAR) doses in prostate high dose rate (HDR) brachythe...

This study reports on a comprehensive MRI-only intracavitary brachytherapy (MR-ICB) commissioning framework with quantitative isodose-based validation against CT.
Accurate auto-contouring is essential for efficient prostate radiotherapy, particularly in image-guided and adaptive workflows, where contour quality influences clinical decision-making. This study quantitatively evaluates Radformation auto-contouring perform...

Foundation models (FMs) have demonstrated strong performance on challenging radiation therapy tasks such as automatic delineation, deformable image registration, and multimodal visual question answering (VQA). However, they are typically task-specific and req...
Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for head and neck (HN) cancer helps maintain target coverage and spare organs-at-risk (OARs) despite anatomical changes like weight loss. For clinics without online ART, early identification of patients needing replanning is essent...

CAMPEP standards require residency programs to train residents on soft skills, such as professionalism, ethics, etc. Recently a nationwide survey of CAMPEP residencies was performed to investigate how programs are incorporating this type of training into thei...
