Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Physics

Professional

To develop a unified software platform, CyberOrchestrator, for streamlining CyberKnife radiosurgery clinical workflows and managing clinical data in support of translational and clinical research.

Accurate prediction of tumor response during chemoradiotherapy is essential for treatment optimization but remains challenging. We developed a deep learning model based on a Dual Path Network (DPN), which is a hybrid architecture...

Therapy Physics

Numerous studies have quantified target baseline positional drift rates across anatomic sites; however, these investigations are often limited by surrogate localization methods (e.g., surface-guidance), single-site analyses, or l...

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Physics

MRI-radiotherapy hybrid systems enable real-time guidance of the therapeutic beam by dynamically adapting to tumor motion. However, inherent delays in imaging and beam control demand prediction of the tumor’s future position and...

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Physics

To present our institution’s LINAC-based accelerated volume-staged stereotactic radiosurgery (AVS-SRS) planning strategy and outcomes for large (≥6 cc), high-risk cerebral AVMs, where surgical resection and trans-arterial emboliz...

Tin (Sn) spectral filtration improves CT dose efficiency and mitigates beam hardening and photon starvation, two major contributors to metal artifacts that also affect PET attenuation correction. This work presents a comprehensiv...

Professional

To quantify the impact of gastrointestinal (GI) motility on pencil-beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy for abdominal cancers, and assess how fractionation and motion amplitude mitigate motility-induced interplay effects.

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Physics

Therapy Physics

Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery is a specialized radiosurgery for brain metastases (BMs). GK plan quality depends strongly on target size and shape, making conventional plan metrics difficult to compare across patients. Dosimetric...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, exhibiting two characteristic brain neuropathologies - amyloid plaques (A) and neurofibrillary tau tangles (T) - hypothesized to disrupt neuronal function. Positron em...

Therapy Physics

Managing cardiac and respiratory motion is critical for stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR), thoracic, and breast treatments. Breath-hold cardiac 4DCT (c4DCT) is commonly required for assessing cardiac motion, while respi...
