Conventional cone-beam CT (CBCT) on linear accelerators suffers from limited soft-tissue contrast and quantitative inaccuracy, hindering its use for precision radiotherapy tasks. This study aims to develop and clinically validate...

Clinical translation of FLASH requires treatment planning systems (TPS) capable of accurately modeling ultra-high dose rate delivery. For FLASH configurations on clinical machines, vendor-provided phase space files are not applic...

Dual-energy CT (DECT) enables the generation of virtual monoenergetic images (VMI), which are increasingly used in quantitative imaging applications. This study aimed to quantify how virtual monoenergetic energy selection influen...

To quantify the energy-dependent effect of phantom size on monoenergetic HU for high-density materials relevant to contrast and calcification assessment in PCCT.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a personalized, geometrically optimized 3DGRID radiotherapy strategy using Helical Tomotherapy (TOMO), designed to maximize tumor ablation while preserving surrounding organs at risk (OARs...

This cross-sectional study quantified structural–functional (SC-FC) coupling in chronic tobacco smokers versus non-smokers using multimodal MR imaging, testing whether smoking is associated with altered correspondence between whi...

While CT imaging has advanced with improved machine design, further diagnostic information can be achieved by enhancing sensitivity to high-Z therapeutic agents. Current photon-counting CT (PCCT) k-edge imaging sensitivity is lim...

This study compared the performance of the dual-layer multileaf collimator (DLM) system of the Halcyon 3.0 accelerator with the single-layer multileaf collimator (SLM) system of the TrueBeam accelerator for treating bulky tumors...

MRI-guided lung SBRT has emerged as a novel treatment modality with the potential to enhance motion management and improve normal lung sparing. This retrospective study evaluates the extent of normal lung sparing achieved by real...

pH Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP) technology is employed in clinics for targeting of tumors and delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents. Here we introduced the novel enhanced pHLIP (e-pHLIP) system for efficient cytoplasmic del...

Multi-echo(ME)-fMRI improves BOLD sensitivity compared with single-echo acquisitions by increasing temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) and sampling multiple-echoes in one repetition time. ME-fMRI particularly benefits from the...

To evaluate image quality in neonatal brain CT using a custom phantom designed to replicate clinically relevant skull and soft tissue attenuation, enabling assessment of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for improved diagnostic confi...

One major bottleneck in MRI-guided online adaptive radiotherapy is the prolonged treatment process, particularly extended delivery times, partly due to the relatively low dose rate and high prescription doses. Efficient radiation...

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning is complex and time-consuming. This study proposes a direct VMAT plan generation method for cervical cancer, enhanced by a physics-guided 3D dose-domain supervision strategy to ens...

We previously developed an automatic catheter reconstruction model (CorneliUS) that achieves approximately 93% needle detection efficiency in post‑implant 3D ultrasound images for prostate HDR brachytherapy. The remaining undetec...

Previous studies in predicting the risk of urgent care visits for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving combined modality therapy (CMT) have generally focused on pre-treatment risk factors. Our study aimed to deve...

The medical physics chart check process is a critical safety step in radiation therapy, serving as one of the final validations of a patient’s treatment plan prior to delivery. Despite its importance, studies have shown that a si...

Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) requires highly complex treatment planning, often consuming many hours of manual effort. The Treatment Planning Automation System (TPAS) was developed to improve efficiency and reduce pla...

To study the feasibility of enhancing the Cherenkov light (CL) image of a high-energy photon beam by an opaque cloth containing fluorescent dye.

Early prediction of distant recurrence in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients may assist clinical decision making. Recent studies demonstrated hardly any benefit while adding systemic therapy to SBRT, and iden...

To establish the equivalence of dual-energy 120kVp-like virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) to 120kVp standard single-energy CT images in terms of electron density, image quality, and as applied to clinically representative exter...

Calculation of the equivalent dose in Diffusing alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy (Alpha DaRT) depends strongly on the spatial dose distribution and the radiobiological impact of emitted alpha particles [1-3]. Current practice in...

HDR brachytherapy procedures are usually time constrained with planning and safety checks performed immediately preceding delivery, often intraoperatively. Additionally, planning systems can be integrated with oncology informatio...

To determine a metabolite profile in menstrual blood that indicates endometriosis. This profile is used to establish quantitative diagnostic standards for endometriosis by analysing the metabolite profiles of 1H NMR spectra of me...
