The objective of this study was to assess whether an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model can automate the retrieval of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) related device codes used to identify specific stent-grafts from preoperative computed tomography angiogr...

The goal of this study was to investigate whether measuring arterial transit time (AT) using the last digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in patients with persistent type II endoleaks (T2E) after repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR) could be a mean...

Proton therapy’s ability to spare normal tissue generally lowers complications, making it an attractive treatment option for head and neck (HN) cancer. Yet, oral mucositis, one of the most frequent and clinically relevant toxicities, occurs in approximately 6...

To experimentally characterize low-energy helium-4 (⁴He⁺) ion beams at subclinical energies (0.5–1.5 MeV/u) at the newly commissioned ASPIRE facility at TRIUMF using radiochromic film dosimetry, and to validate the measured dose distributions through Monte Ca...

Accurate prediction of beam delivery time (BDT) is essential for operational efficiency, 4D dose calculations, and advanced proton therapy techniques such as proton arc therapy. Despite its importance, no machine-specific BDT model currently exists for Mevion...

Proton therapy plans are optimized by relating the delivered dose to an equivalent photon dose using the Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE). Clinically, a constant RBE of 1.1 is assumed, despite evidence that RBE varies along the proton beam path. Accura...
