The RefleXion linear accelerator utilizes a 6 MV FFF beam with a binary multi-leaf collimator and a pair of Y- jaws with clinical openings of 1 cm and 2 cm. The machine is equipped with a 16-slice on-board fan-beam CT and an on- board PET detector system. For...

To investigate the feasibility of three-dimensional fiducial localization using small-angle kV image pairs from adjacent projections as a time-efficient alternative to conventional orthogonal imaging, and to determine the minimum gantry angle separation.

To commission Standard Imaging Exradin W1 scintillator detector (W1) on RefleXIon PET-Linac system for small-field dosimetry in both image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT).

Stereotactic spinal treatments deliver a high radiation dose and utilize smaller target margins, on the order of 1 mm, to minimize dose to the spinal cord. Intrafraction tumor tracking is therefore essential to minimize dose outside of the target. A common ap...

Mentorship is widely accepted to contribute to academic productivity and career development. We aim to develop a national cross-sectional survey study distributed to therapeutic and diagnostic imaging medical physics residency programs to gain insight into th...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, exhibiting two characteristic brain neuropathologies - amyloid plaques (A) and neurofibrillary tau tangles (T) - hypothesized to disrupt neuronal function. Positron emission tomography (PET) is the...
