To quantify the dosimetric consequences of physiology-composed abdominal motion on pancreatic cancer SBRT.

To quantify the dosimetric impact of transitioning from water-based TG-43 dose evaluations to advanced model-based TG-186 calculations in permanent prostate brachytherapy, and to assess the effects on target coverage, organ-at-ri...

Therapy Physics

To test whether commonly used pixel-wise CT reconstruction metrics reflect preservation of clinically relevant anatomy for radiotherapy imaging, and to develop an anatomy-centered, task-based evaluation and enhancement approach f...

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Physics

5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-mediated radiodynamic therapy (RDT), which integrates principles of radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy, exploits the effective tumoricidal capabilities of x-ray irradiation and the activation of p...

Patient motion estimation is essential for various X-ray imaging applications, and is typically formulated as an optimization problem. Solution using gradient-free methods often suffer from limited accuracy and high computational...

Novel GPU-based multicriteria optimization (gMCO) for high-dose-rate gynecological brachytherapy (GYN-BT) generates large plan pools satisfying EMBRACE-II dosimetric constraints (Pötter et al., 2018). Differentiating plans with c...

Low-intensity, nonthermal electric and magnetic field–based therapies have emerged as effective clinical treatments for glioblastoma (Optune and Oncomagnetic devices). Here, we investigate the feasibility of concurrent radiothera...

Standard Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) enables cost-effective Dual-Energy CT (DECT) via a one-kVp-switching protocol(switching energy once in the middle of a full scan), but inherently suffers from geometry-inconsistent data acquisition an...

Directional Modulated Brachytherapy (DMBT) tandems using tungsten shielding have demonstrated improved dose conformity versus conventional tandem-and-ring (T&R) applicators. In prior work, DMBT six-groove tandem with a standard r...

Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) provides superior dose conformity and sparing of healthy tissues compared with photon radiotherapy. Improving delivery efficiency is clinically important for reducing motion-induced uncer...

Single-isocenter multiple-target (SIMT) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) presents significant dosimetric challenges for patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA). Standard complexity metrics often fail to predict deliverability fo...

The global prevalence of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is rising in tandem with a rapidly aging population. Transcranial sonography (TCS) has emerged as a promising tool for early diagnosis, as it is radiation-free, highly accessible,...
