There is little objective data to guide clinician decisions regarding use of intracavitary (IC) versus combined intracavitary–interstitial (IC/IS) applicators during cervical cancer brachytherapy. Data from retroEMBRACE indicate...

Commercial treatment planning systems (TPS), such as Varian Eclipse, cannot perform dose calculations on CBCTs acquired with 6DoF couch corrections. This limitation prevents direct dosimetric re-evaluation of verification scans....

Accurate localization of brachytherapy needles in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is essential for high-quality treatment planning, yet remains challenging due to speckle noise, needle shadowing, and variable image quality. This wo...

To extend MAAS-SFRThelper with geometry-based lattice positioning tools, completing an integrated workflow from sphere generation, positioning, and VMAT optimization, to dose evaluation for SFRT planning.

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are candidate cancer cell radiosensitizers, they can be targeted with peptides containing the αvβ3 integrin binding domain RGD (arginine, glycine, aspartic acid). This integrin is overexpressed in many c...

Cherenkov imaging is a promising technique for visualizing and quantifying surface dose in radiation therapy. However, the absolute relationship between surface dose and emitted Cherenkov photons remains uncertain and varies with...

Dose-mimicking aims to generate treatment plans based on a reference dose distribution. The importance of dose-mimicking has grown substantially due to the increasing demand for rapid plan adaptation in adaptive radiotherapy—part...

Motion-resolved 4D MRI is essential for assessing abdominal tumor and organ motion, but gradient nonlinearity (GNL) causes geometric distortion that reduces spatial fidelity and motion accuracy. This study evaluates GNL correctio...

Proton LATTICE radiotherapy (LRT), a spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT), delivers high dose to intratumoral vertices while maintaining low valley dose. Single-field optimization (SFO) is robust in preserving peak-to-valle...

KOALA (Kilovoltage Optimized for AcceLerator Adaptive therapy) is a low-cost adaptive radiotherapy device designed for use in resource-limited settings. KOALA includes cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging characterized by scatter artifact...

Large multi-institution healthcare networks often operate diverse fleets of CT scanners while sharing the same radiology practice for clinical interpretation. Variability in CT protocols, quality control (QC) processes, and dose...

Accurate delineation of Head and Neck (H&N) Gross Tumor Volumes (GTV) is a prerequisite for effective radiotherapy, represents a significant cognitive challenge, and may contribute to an observed outcomes deficit between high-vol...

This study aims to compare plan quality between helical photon and IMPT proton delivery platforms across multiple disease sites to evaluate whether helical plans could provide an effective and rapid backup to proton therapy.

This study investigates the hematological consequences of chronic low-dose radiation exposure (0.1–20 mSv/year) among radiology professionals, assessing profession-specific vulnerabilities and identifying biomarkers for early bio...

Longitudinal CBCT radiomics acquired during radiotherapy suffers from temporal variability. We developed a novel cumulative spatial and temporal aggregation framework (CBCTc) to optimize both prediction performance and stability...

Precise, accessible, and patient-conformal in-vivo dosimetry remains a central requirement for assurance of safe radiotherapy delivery, particularly in high-dose-rate Total Skin Electron Therapy (HDR-TSET), where large treatment...

To assess the high-dose performance of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) for radiotherapy applications and to identify material-level effects impacting detector response.

Synthetic CT (sCT) provides the electron density information needed for MR-only treatment planning, eliminating CT-MR registration errors and patient burden reduction. There are hitherto no reliable methods for sCT of the abdomen...

Preclinical glioblastoma (GBM) models are crucial for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to improve GBM outcomes. Highly conformal conventional fractionation forms the basis for standard-of-care radiotherapy (RT) in...

4D-MRI offers superior soft-tissue contrast for abdominal motion management but is limited by scan duration and image quality trade-offs. Moreover, existing techniques are restricted to anatomical imaging, lacking functional data...

Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with pencil beam scanning (PBS) delivers sequential proton spots as the fundamental delivery unit. By tuning each spot’s spatial position, energy level, and fluence intensity, it enables...

Measuring dose from small fields delivered by dedicated radiosurgery devices like the Gamma Knife can be challenging and time consuming. It usually required a combination of films and point detectors (diodes, micro-ion chamber)....

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation modality, offering unparalleled focal precision and depth penetration. Accurate treatment planning critically depends on the ability t...

High-resolution CT is important for radiotherapy contouring and dose calculation. However, acquiring high through-plane resolution is often constrained by radiation dose, motion artifacts, and scanner limitations. This study aims...
