Plastic scintillation detectors are increasingly used to measure dose distributions in the context of radiotherapy treatments. Their water-equivalence, real-time response and high spatial resolution distinguish them from traditional…
Accurate dose calculations in proton therapy rely on high-quality CT images. While planning CTs (pCTs) serve as a reference for dosimetric planning, Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is used throughout Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) to generate sCTs for…
Spectral CT has shown promise for high-sensitivity quantitative imaging and material decomposition. This work presents a new device called a spatial-spectral filter (SSF) which consists of a tiled array of filter materials positioned near…
Generating synthetic CT (sCT) from MRI or CBCT plays a crucial role in enabling MRI-only and CBCT-based adaptive radiotherapy, improving treatment precision while reducing patient radiation exposure. To address this task, we adopt a fully…
Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) is a form of video image analysis that combines the sensitivity of scattering and the direct visualization benefits of microscopy. DDM is broadly useful in determining dynamical properties including the…
Prostate cancer is a major global health concern, requiring advancements in robotic surgery and diagnostics to improve patient outcomes. A phantom is a specially designed object that simulates human tissues or organs. It can be used for…
In this paper, a novel and robust algorithm is proposed for adaptive beamforming based on the idea of reconstructing the autocorrelation sequence (ACS) of a random process from a set of measured data. This is obtained from the first column…
This study proposes a novel imaging and reconstruction framework for dual-energy cone-beam CT (DECBCT) using only two orthogonal X-ray projections at different energy levels (2V-DECBCT). The goal is to enable fast and low-dose DE volumetric…
One of the major challenges in the science of maxillofacial radiology imaging is the various artifacts created in images taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging systems. Among these artifacts, motion artifact, which is created…
Spectral CT is an emerging modality that uses a data acquisition scheme with varied spectral responses to provide enhanced material discrimination in addition to the structural information of conventional CT. Existing clinical and…
In this work, we design, fabricate and characterize a compact, broadband and highly sensitive integrated photonic electromagnetic field sensor based on a silicon-organic hybrid modulator driven by a bowtie antenna. The large electro-optic…

Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a novel framework, iPhantom, for automated creation of patient-specific phantoms or digital-twins (DT) using patient medical images. The framework is applied to assess radiation dose to…
Imaging of teeth is very important to doctors in the diagnosis and treatment of dental diseases. The main imaging modality currently used is Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), which however suffers from ionizing radiation causing…
X-ray imaging dose from serial cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans raises a clinical concern in most image guided radiation therapy procedures. It is the goal of this paper to develop a fast GPU-based algorithm to reconstruct high quality CBCT images…
Coherent X-ray scattering techniques are critical for investigating the fundamental structural properties of materials at the nanoscale. While advancements have made these experiments more accessible, real-time analysis remains a…
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) plays a crucial role in Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) by accurately providing radiation treatment when organ anatomy changes occur. However, CBCT images suffer from scatter noise and artifacts, making relying solely…
Laser frequency combs (LFCs) are an important component of Doppler radial velocity (RV) spectroscopy that pushes fractional precision to the $10^{-10}$ level, as required to identify and characterize Earth-like exoplanets. However, large…
Pulsatile changes in retinal vascular geometry over the cardiac cycle have clinical implications for the diagnosis of ocular and systemic vascular diseases, including ischemia, coronary heart diseases, and diabetes mellitus and its…
We demonstrate in vivo endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in the forward direction using a flexible fiber bundle. In comparison to current conventional forward looking probe schemes, our approach simplifies the endoscope…
