To develop a multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) radiomics framework for predicting post-resection glioblastoma (GBM) survival by integrating conventional MR modalities with a quantum mechanics–inspired imaging representation.

This work presents the Radiotherapy Dose Inference and Analysis Toolkit (RADIANT), an open-source, fully configurable framework for 3D radiotherapy dose prediction. Built upon the Medical Imaging Segmentation Toolkit, RADIANT sup...

Proton beam quality varies with depth in both monoenergetic and spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) beams due to changes in track structure and local energy deposition. This study investigates hydroxyl radical-sensitive fluorescence as...

To quantify renal parenchyma functional changes in response to radiation dose for patients treated with kidney stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) by analyzing the paired pre- and post-treatment contrast-enhanced CT scans. We h...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disorder affecting over 30 million Americans. OA is the second-most costly health condition in the US responsible for over 4% of all total hospitalization costs. OA results from the degenerati...

To eliminate unnecessary radiation exposure and streamline patient-specific lead shield fabrication for skin cancer treatment, this study evaluates the feasibility of generating a 3D patient surface model using a low-cost hand-he...

To investigate the incidence of radiation necrosis (RN) after proton therapy (PT) in low-grade brain tumors and characterize RN temporal evolution.

This study aimed to evaluate the timing of incident occurrence and detection across the radiation oncology workflow to identify error-prone workflow processes and to assess the effectiveness of quality assurance (QA) processes. T...

With the advent of pencil beam scanning in proton therapy, the necessity of a gantry has become less compelling. More broadly, gantry-less proton therapy systems offer a potential pathway to reduce system complexity, footprint, a...

To conduct a national quality control project at Kenyan cancer centres in an effort to assess agreement between radiation treatment planning and delivery at Kenyan cancer centres.

To increase the biological effectiveness of proton therapy, a novel approach proton boron/nitrogen capture therapy (PCT) were proposed. This research was carried out to evaluate the increased the radiobiological effectiveness of...

To commission and clinically implement a robust radiochromic film dosimetry workflow for PBS proton therapy, providing a practical solution for small-field patient-specific QA, in-vivo dose verification, and WET-based range asses...

The FLASH radiotherapy effect is the reduction of radiation-induced normal tissue damage with Ultra-High Dose Rate (UHDR) irradiation, relative to Conventional Dose Rates (CDR), while preserving tumor tissue damage. However, the...

Radiomics enables the extraction of high-dimensional quantitative features from medical images, capturing information related to lesion shape, intensity distribution, and texture that extends beyond conventional visual assessment...

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for non-spinal bone metastases generally achieves high local control; however, approximately 10% of patients experience local failure (LF). Conventional clinical and dose metrics often fail t...

Cardiotoxicity remains a major concern in thoracic radiotherapy. Prior studies have associated whole heart (WH) and substructure dose-volume histogram (DVH) metrics with cardiac events; however, changing practice (e.g., immunothe...

Radiotherapy with a 6 MV linear accelerator is extensively employed in cancer treatment, particularly for targeting deep-seated tumors. In our work, we have focused on maximizing the dose that can be safely delivered to patients....

In this study, image quality of eleven mobile C-arm fluoroscopic systems across one institution was evaluated using visual assessment and Rose Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) calculation. The aim was to rank c-arm image quality using...

Simple clinical criteria for deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) eligibility in left-sided whole-breast radiotherapy, such as the ability to sustain a 20-30 second breath-hold, are commonly used but do not reliably predict dosime...

In Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) using the Stanford technique, the delivered dose is strongly affected by daily positioning uncertainties. This study presents an integrated framework that combines AI-assisted rapid generatio...

For craniospinal irradiation (CSI), VMAT offers superior dose conformality and normal tissue sparing compared to traditional 3D techniques. However, generating these plans is cumbersome. It requires multiple isocenters, optimizat...

To introduce and apply a analytical-driven robustness evaluation framework, Robust Analysis Treatment Score (RATS), for systematic comparison of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy...

While Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have set new benchmarks for synthetic CT (sCT) image quality, their prohibitive inference times hinder integration into online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) workflows. Thi...

To evaluate a deep-learning based real-time automated radiotherapy planning pipeline for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in both retrospective multi-center study and prospective clinical deployment.
