High-density metallic ports in breast tissue expanders (TE) introduce CT artifacts that cause dose calculation uncertainties for postmastectomy radiation planning. TE ports have either a titanium or stainless-steel needle guard and a very high-z magnet. Mater...

Biological systems are inherently structured, with genes and molecular components interacting through organized pathways and networks. Graph-based representations are therefore widely used in biological analysis. However, many existing deep learning approache...

Evidence suggests a competing dynamic for radiation therapy (RT) and immunological response to tumors; while radiation-induced immune suppression (RIIS) inhibits immune processes, which may result in lower tumor control and survival and increase infections an...

To determine optimal scan and reconstruction parameters of a novel dual-energy CT (DECT) scanner for radiotherapy treatment planning across different patient scenarios.

Medical imaging and molecular omics data provide complementary information about disease. Imaging describes tissue and organ structure, while omics measurements, e.g., gene expression, capture cellular and molecular processes. Integrating these data types is...
