Limiting contralateral breast dose (CBD) is an important concern in breast radiotherapy, as prior studies link doses >1Gy to significantly increased secondary cancer risk. Furthermore, complex beam geometry increases low-dose irradiation of healthy tissue whi...

Therapy Physics
Interstitial brachytherapy enables highly conformal radiotherapy, but accuracy depends on surgical skill, and few in vivo dosimetry systems exist. Effective monitoring requires not just dose but tracking source position, dwell time, and transit times. We deve...

Therapy Physics
Cherenkov imaging provides valuable beam delivery information, but fixed treatment camera positions are subject to gantry occlusions and couch rotation artifacts that inhibit imaging for a significant percentage of clinical cases. To overcome these limitation...
