Techniques for preclinical intensity modulated radiation therapy are being developed to improve translation by replicating the clinical paradigm. This study presents the first treatment planning comparison between small animal IMRT…

To accurately verify the dose of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), we have used a global optimization method to investigate a new dose-verification algorithm. In practical application of this quality assurance (QA) procedure,…

Temporally modulated pulsed radiotherapy (TMPRT) delivers conventional fraction doses of radiation using temporally separated pulses of low doses (<30 cGy) yielding fraction-effective dose rates of around 6.7 cGy/min with the goal to…

A central problem in the field of radiation therapy (RT) is how to optimally deliver dose to a patient in a way that fully accounts for anatomical position changes over time. As current RT is a static process, where beam intensities are…

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most common modalities for treating cancer patients. One of the biggest challenges is precise treatment delivery that accounts for varying motion patterns originating from…

Radiotherapy (RT) is a key component in the treatment of various cancers, including Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). Precise delineation of organs at risk (OARs) and target areas is essential for…

Objective: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) beam angle optimization (BAO) is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem that is NP-hard. In this study, we aim to develop a personalized BAO algorithm for IMRT that improves…

The total variation (TV) regularization has phenomenally boosted various variational models for image processing tasks. We propose to combine the backward diffusion process in the earlier literature of image enhancement with the TV…

Today, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is one of the methods used to treat brain tumors. In conventional treatment planning methods, after identifying planning target volume (PTV), and organs at risk (OARs), and determining the…

Total variation (TV) is a powerful regularization method that has been widely applied in different imaging applications, but is difficult to apply to diffuse optical tomography (DOT) image reconstruction (inverse problem) due to complex and…

Radiation therapy is considered to be one of important treatment protocols for cancers. Radiation therapy employs several beams of ionizing radiation to kill cancer tumors, but such irradiation also causes damage to normal tissues.…

This work considers using reduced basis techniques in connection to (smoothened) total variation regularization in electrical impedance tomography, but analogous ideas can also be used for other inverse elliptic boundary value problems. It…

Conventional planning objectives in optimization of intensity-modulated radiotherapy treatment (IMRT) plans are designed to minimize the violation of dose-volume histogram (DVH) thresholds using penalty functions. Although successful in…
