The purpose of this study was to implement and experimentally characterize a kV microbeam X-ray irradiation platform, with emphasis on spatial dose modulation and dosimetric suitability for future radiobiological applications. Sp...

To evaluate the dosimetric performance of an in-house developed fully automated VMAT total body irradiation (TBI) treatment planning platform.

To develop and validate a fully automated, cost-effective Field-in-Field (FiF) planning script within the Varian Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI) environment. The project aims to improve the plan quality and efficiency for breast ra...

To confirm based on recent literature that the implementation of copper filtration during pediatric and adult chest radiography resulted in reduced patient entrance exposure (Kentrance) while maintaining image quality (IQ).

To integrate post-radiation DNA repair, post‑repair mutation creation, and whole‑genome sequencing into a Monte Carlo–based simulation pipeline in order to observe and quantify chromosome translocations resulting from radiation‑i...

Unity MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) relies on a Monte Carlo (MC) photon dose calculation algorithm. Compared with conventional algorithms such as convolution–superposition, or collapsed cone, MC methods more accurately...

A web-based quality assurance (QA) management platform can reduce clinic hardware and software needs while streamlining QA workflows through improved accessibility, trend tracking, and automated failure notifications. This study...

Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (oART) is resource and time-intensive, requiring dosimetrist, physicist, and physician involvement at each adapted fraction. The therapist-led adaptive workflow has been shown to reduce physician cons...

Noninvasive stereotactic radioablation for refractory ventricular tachycardia (rVT) using a single 25 Gy fraction is an emerging treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure. This complex procedure requires highly no...

HDR prostate brachytherapy (HDR-PBT) treatment plans are subject to multiple uncertainties that can significantly impact delivered dose distributions. This work implements a comprehensive robust evaluation framework in the contex...

Onboard real-time MRI imaging in MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers exceptional benefits for treating abdominothoracic cancers. However, gated delivery can be prolonged due to irregular patient breathing, which may diminish th...

To test whether HyperSight CBCT (HS-CBCT) improves consistency of longitudinal radiomics with planning CT versus conventional CBCT in pelvic radiotherapy.

Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) requires accurate placement of high-dose vertices to preserve peak-to-valley dose ratios (PVDR) and limit dose to surrounding organs at risk (OARs). This study evaluates the impact...

To evaluate the clinical efficacy and planning efficiency of RapidPlanPT for proton beam breast cancer treatment planning.

Accurate patient setup in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) proton therapy is critical due to steep dose gradients, limited range robustness, and the frequent use of tight clinical target volume (CTV) margins. This study introd...

The integration of radiosensitizing chemotherapeutics with radiotherapy represents a promising strategy to enhance tumor response. However, conventional systemic administration often results in limited tumor drug delivery, reduci...

FDG-PET/CT scans obtained for lung cancer staging may encode underutilized cardiac information. This study aimed to: (1) assess the predictive power of PET-derived radiomics for pre-treatment cardiovascular conditions; (2) evalua...

Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is a prevalent and clinically significant toxicity in lung cancer radiotherapy. Circulating lymphocyte exposure is inherently time-dependent due to blood flow through irradiated volumes during...

The high modulation and spatial complexity of IMRT/VMAT treatment plans motivates the use of patient-specific quality assurance (QA) to verify accurate dose delivery. This study aims to enhance the interpretability of patient-spe...

Proton head-and-neck (HN) patients often experience target volume changes. Our investigation of daily CBCTs showed the changes from swelling to shrinkage happening usually within one week. Offline adaptation takes about one week...

This study evaluates whether selective distance-based cropping of organs at risk (OARs) can improve target coverage and plan robustness for abdominal stereotactic adaptive radiation therapy using the Ethos 2.0 planning system. By...

High–atomic number hafnium oxide (HafO₂) nanoparticles have demonstrated potential as radio-enhancers, but their detectability using standard CT calibration is limited. This work aims to (1) establish CT calibration curves for Ha...

Stopping power ratio (SPR) estimation from dual-energy CT (DECT) may improve proton range accuracy by eliminating conventional HU calibration uncertainties. Commercial proprietary algorithms, such as DirectSPR, necessitate indepe...

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with image-guided brachytherapy is the standard for locally advanced cervical cancer, yet failures persist due to heterogeneous radioresistant sub-volumes. While Dose Painting by Numbers (DPb...
