SBRT is an emerging noninvasive treatment for refractory ventricular tachycardia. Precise target delineation and highly conformal dose delivery are critical due to cardiac motion and the close proximity. This study evaluates the...

Accurate musculoskeletal (MSK) CT assessment relies on high spatial resolution, which can be compromised when extremities are positioned away from the scanner isocenter. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of off-...

To evaluate a novel dual-mode handheld gamma camera (RAVIN, M3D Inc.) utilizing coded aperture and Compton imaging for clinical radiopharmaceutical applications.

This work commissioned a manual beam gating procedure for breast DIBH treatment on Ethos and Halcyon (O-ring) platforms, which included dosimetric consistency evaluation with an End-to-End (E2E) test and quantifying the response...

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is of growing importance in modern clinical practice. Emerging deep-learning-based CT super-resolution (SR) approaches, particularly those arbitrary-scale SR networks employing implicit...

To develop and clinically implement a Python-based RayStation scripting tool that automates three-dimensional radiotherapy planning for osteoarthritis (OA) in a single execution.

Clinical boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) dose calculations commonly rely on fixed compound biological effectiveness (CBE) factors, which may fail to capture inter-patient biological heterogeneity relevant to treatment respon...

To evaluate the impact of density models on dose calculation in the RayStation and Precision treatment planning systems, using images acquired with the Radixact X9 (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA).

To explore utilization of a generalized planning template to enable reference-free direct-to-unit treatment for prostate cancer.

A growing number of patients with increasingly many brain metastases (BMs) are being treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. Artificial intelligence-assisted gross tumor volumes (AIGTVs) can aid the radiation oncologist in contou...

To clinically implement and evaluate an MRI-only treatment planning (MRTP) workflow for interstitial high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy in gynecologic cancers. In contrast to the conventional CT/MRI-based planning (CTP) approach,...

To show the clinical implementation process of a digital quality assurance (QA) management and analysis platform for monthly testing of modern linear accelerators empathizing workflow standardization, automated analysis and reduc...

To clinically implement C-RAD for gated beam delivery on a Mevion S250i Hyper scanning machine for thorax and abdomen patients.

Winston-Lutz (WL) testing is routinely used to assess coincidence between a linac’s mechanical and radiation isocenter. Although dedicated commercial phantoms exist for off-axis target verification, they require additional resour...

Dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LETd) is increasingly used to characterize biological risk in proton therapy. However, LET definitions differ among treatment planning systems. RayStation 2023B reports LET-to-water, whereas...

To characterize the current Clinical Medical Physics (CMP) workforce in Zimbabwe, with emphasis on registration status, training completion, effective workforce capacity, geographic distribution, and implications for national cli...

Manual medical physicist chart checking is a variable and time-intensive process in external beam radiotherapy QA, especially for complex sites such as head and neck (H&N). This study evaluated the variability and limitations of...

Quantitative MRI is a reliable, non‑invasive method for assessing liver fat content. Because manual whole‑liver ROI delineation is impractical in clinical practice, fat fraction (FF) is typically estimated from a single‑slice man...

To evaluate the clinical feasibility of an in-house AI-driven detection tool for brain metastases in Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Small or interval metastases are prone to oversight during initial radiologic review yet require ident...

To clinically validate an implicit neural representation (INR)-based fitting approach for intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion MRI parameter estimation against conventional non-linear least squares (NLLS), and to evaluat...

This study proposes an automated quality assurance (QA) method for radiation therapy structure delineation based on the RT contour QA software, addressing issues such as low efficiency in delineating clinical radiation therapy re...

In proton therapy, precise beam range measurement and dose verification are critical to overcome range uncertainty and ensure patient safety. This study developed and evaluated a technique to reconstruct and visualize in vivo dos...

A novel method for assessing clonogenic survival in irradiated 3D bioprinted tumor models.

During lung SBRT, tumor motion is managed using 4DCT-based ITV expansion, respiratory or external gating, or breath-hold techniques, each with limitations. Existing real-time tracking methods require implanted fiducials or additi...
