Half-value layer (HVL) is a common beam quality parameter, but physical measurement is often time-consuming and difficult. This work presents a faster spectral method for determining HVL for four sets of polyenergetic mammography beam qualities using a solid-...

Radiomic survival models often have substantial class imbalance, which can distort patient ranking and reduce the reliability of predicted survival probabilities. This study evaluated commonly used imbalance-handling strategies and whether their effects chang...
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...
With recent shifts in the federal funding landscape, many investigators are facing new challenges in supporting their research. An analysis of 2025 NIH data reveals a steep decline year-over-year in new grants awarded to AAPM members, raising serious concerns...
Radiomics models often exhibit unreliable performance and substantial variation across institutions. One aspect that has not been examined thoroughly is how parameter settings—such as normalization scale, outlier handling, and bin width—affect downstream resu...
