MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) provides minimally invasive option for treating recurrent brain tumors. No accurate and rapid treatment planning methods currently exist for quantitatively predicting patient s...

Dense breast tissue substantially reduces mammography sensitivity, posing diagnostic challenges particularly among Asian women (up to 50%). Multimodal registration between breast MRI and mammography improves lesion localization;...

Re-excision rates remain high for early-stage breast cancer patients due to challenges in margin delineation during surgery. Our group has developed a time-resolved fluorescence and diffuse reflectance (TRF-DR) spectroscopy syste...

In this preliminary study, we introduce an iterative implicit neural representation method for improving sparse‑view CBCT (INR-CBCT) for image-guided-radiotherapy.

This study evaluates the dosimetric advantages of TaiChi, a novel radiotherapy platform that integrates 6 MV linacbased volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with γray stereotactic radiotherapy, for the treatment of small cell...

IROC and Radiation Quality Assurance Lab monitor more than 2500 radiotherapy facilities worldwide to ensure accurate and consistent radiotherapy delivery. This study reviews the 30 year history of the anthropomorphic phantom prog...

To achieve more favorable clinical VMAT/IMRT outcomes, preclinical studies that mimic clinical practices and provide highly statistically significant small animal (SA) studies are essential. However, such high-throughput studies...

In lung cancer adaptive radiation therapy (ART), respiratory motion and interfractional anatomical variations—including changes in tumor size and normal tissue anatomy—can affect the efficacy of radiation treatment. Acquiring hig...

The new generation of cone-beam CT (CBCT) systems, such as HyperSight (Varian Medical Systems), provide CT-like image quality with improved HU accuracy. Dual-energy Cone beam CT (DE-CBCT)–based virtual non-contrast (VNC) imaging...

To demonstrate a novel software package that will generate two- dimensional radiation field images and dose profiles of known characteristics for calibration of radiation therapy QA devices.

Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) offers high LET and RBE for treating radioresistant tumors but suffers from biological dose inhomogeneity due to RBE uncertainties. Techniques like LET painting focus on optimizing LET but do not di...

Automation in external beam radiotherapy chart checks improves standardization, efficiency, and error reduction. Our academic institution, consisting of approximately 200 users over 7 campuses, partnered with a vendor to integrat...

This work presents a public project on the Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) platform for reproducible, out-of-the-box application of analysis workflows for pre-trained radiological and radiotherapy AI models; the first and only such p...
