Daily Quality Assurance (QA) is critical to ascertain regular checks upon radiation therapy treatment machines and maintain quality of treatment plan delivery for patients. A point of interest is to improve the workflow and ease of use of the devices and chec...
To auto-classify radiation oncology safety events reported in narrative descriptions using a large language model (LLM) and propose a framework for future AI-assisted reporting systems.
Clinical implementation of proton arc therapy is partly hindered by the low speed of beam energy switching upstream of the nozzle. To achieve fast and multiple post-nozzle energies, we propose a novel range shifter, termed the Checkerboard Range Shifter (CRS)...
Accurate breath-hold reproducibility is critical in left-sided breast irradiation to reduce cardiac and lung dose, and differences in motion management techniques may influence delivered dose accuracy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dosimetri...
Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) treats cutaneous lymphomas and other superficial malignancies by delivering a uniform electron dose over the skin. Partial-body rotational TSET requires shielding of critical structures, but conventional bulky lead shields n...
The upcoming AAPM Task Group 350 (TG-350) report proposes a standardized end-to-end test suite for commissioning proton pencil-beam scanning (PBS) systems. This work presents the first complete implementation of all eight TG-350 tests to benchmark an IBA Prot...
Re-irradiation of brain neoplasms remains a significant clinical challenge. Resection without adjuvant re-irradiation is associated with a high local failure rate, whereas re-irradiation alone may improve local control but is associated with a high risk of ra...
Accurate catheter reconstruction is critical for treatment quality and patient safety in HDR prostate brachytherapy. Ultrasound guidance provides high-resolution imaging and excellent soft tissue contrast, yet manual digitization measurement under sterile con...
HyperSight CBCT (hCBCT) on Halcyon 4.0 provides image quality comparable to planning CT (pCT), supporting development of an offline adaptive radiotherapy (OART) workflow. This study evaluated the clinical feasibility of implementing an hCBCT-based OART workfl...
