To develop and validate a physics‑informed model that converts trabecular bone attenuation (HU) measured at non‑standard tube potentials into 120‑kVp–equivalent CT numbers.
To report effective half-lives of normal organs and investigate the relationship between kidney effective half-life and creatinine clearance in patients undergoing 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy at our institution. As single-timepoint do...
Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) systems are increasingly used for patient positioning and motion management in radiotherapy. However, their performance may be influenced by variations in patient skin tone, as differences...
pHLIP (pH (Low) Insertion Peptides) technology is used in preclinical and clinical studies for targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents to acidic tumors. pHLIPs sense low pH at the surface of cancer and immune cells, i...
Cardiotoxicity assessment following lung cancer radiotherapy is limited by the difficulty of extracting outcomes from unstructured Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a scalable solution, with pri...
This study aims at addressing key concepts of radiation dosimetry in the presence of a magnetic field as a complement to the AAPM TG-351 reference dosimetry protocol for radiotherapy guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRgRT).
To develop normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models for Grade 3 (G3) radiation dermatitis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with photon and proton therapy, and to evaluate their generalizability acros...
Medical Physics is a niche field that tends to have recruitment issues at the graduate level. There are many factors that limit the field's recruitment capabilities with one largely being financial and geographical feasibility. M...
A Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent was developed to accurately, reliably, and quickly address queries and prompts that pertain to regulatory and accreditation compliance, specific to the use...
This work develops an agentic AI framework that bridges the gap between state-of-the-art tumor segmentation models and clinical deployment, where model discovery, data preprocessing, and output QA remain time-intensive and requir...
VMAT total body irradiation (TBI) planning is complex and time-intensive, involving multiple isocenters, junction management, and iterative hotspot control. Many automation approaches still require repeated user interaction, limi...
Dynamic myocardial perfusion CT (MPCT) serves as a critical tool for functional assessment of multiple diseases, including coronary stenosis and myocardial ischemia. However, the continuous acquisition required to track contrast...
The absence of defined dose tolerances and the uncertainty in radiation sensitivity among airway subsegments highlight the need to evaluate imaging-based airway changes in patients receiving radiotherapy for central and ultracent...
Ensuring precise delivery of radiotherapy is paramount, especially in high dose rate settings where small deviations can create large, unplanned doses, jeopardizing patient safety and treatment outcome. Current dosimetry and QA m...
Numerous studies have shown that Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE), in conjunction with Ultra High Dose Rate (UHDR) delivery, could effectively treat deep-seated tumors. This combination has the potential to enhance the treatment...
To perform a root cause analysis (RCA) of LINAC geometric error (LGE) dependency on target distance from isocenter for multitarget radiosurgery (SIMT) treatments and develop efficient and accurate clinical QA workflows
Deformable image registration (DIR) is integral to imaging alignment in radiation therapy, yet quality assurance (QA) on DIR performance remains challenging when reference contours are unavailable. In such situations, clinical de...
Lattice stereotactic body radiation therapy (Lattice SBRT) delivers spatially fractionated high-dose vertices embedded within a lower-dose tumor base, producing steep dose gradients potentially sensitive to interfractional anatom...
This study aimed to develop, validate, and corroborate an innovative Breast Asymmetry Score (BAS) derived from optical breast spectroscopy (OBS) as a non-invasive indicator of breast cancer risk, and to integrate BAS with establi...
Accurate catheter reconstruction is critical for treatment quality and patient safety in HDR prostate brachytherapy. Ultrasound guidance provides high-resolution imaging and excellent soft tissue contrast, yet manual digitization...
Cone-beam breast CT (CBBCT) offers volumetric imaging without tissue overlap, but achieving adequate image quality at screening-appropriate dose levels remains challenging. This study optimizes acquisition parameters for sparse-v...
The gamma index is widely used for comparing 2D and 3D dose distributions in pre‑treatment and in vivo patient‑specific quality assurance (PSQA). However, commonly applied criteria (e.g., 3%/3 mm, 3%/2 mm) often lack sensitivity...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is challenged by respiratory motion, necessitating 4D robust optimization. This study aimed to optimize the number of breathing phases requir...
To improve lung-sparing for multi-isocentric total body irradiation (TBI) in adult-sized patients while preserving target coverage, and to determine mean lung dose (MLD) and target maximum dose (PTV D1cc) as a function of body di...
