To demonstrate that Gamma Knife stereotactic radiotherapy with on-board imaging can be safely utilized for pregnant patients using techniques and resources accessible to medical physicists in non-academic clinical settings.

Structured education in artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important for medical physicists as AI tools are integrated into clinical practice. To address this need, the AAPM Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on AI Boot Camps (AHAIBC) was established...

Real-time dose verification remains a critical unmet need in radiation therapy. We developed physics-informed AI models for radiacoustic imaging (RAI) to enable quantitative, real-time in vivo dose monitoring for proton therapy. Our approach addresses two big...

To quantify the discrepancies that occur when a proton treatment plan is delivered on daily anatomy, following the clinical standard of marker-based registration using daily CT imaging. This study aims to demonstrate the necessity for real-time adaptive repla...

Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) is widely used for scanner benchmarking, quality assurance, and protocol optimization. Although CTDI methodology is standardized, practical implementation choices may introduce uncertainty. This study evaluates two often-...

Virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) generated from dual-energy CT (DECT) offer diagnostic advantages such as enhanced contrast and reduced metal artifacts; however, their role in radiation oncology treatment planning is less established. This study evaluates...

Proton therapy is an increasingly adopted cancer treatment due to its high dose conformity enabled by the Bragg peak (BP), reducing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. However, this steep dose gradient makes treatment accuracy highly sensitive t...

Accurate radiotherapy delivery requires precise knowledge of soft-tissue anatomy at the time of treatment, particularly for abdominal targets affected by respiration, peristalsis, and inter-fractional anatomical changes. Current clinical systems provide limit...
