Collimator angle is usually rotated when planning volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) due to the leakage of radiation between multi-leaf collimator (MLC) leaves. We studied the effect of the collimator angles on the results of…

We implemented and evaluated a multiple resolution residual network (MRRN) for multiple normal organs-at-risk (OAR) segmentation from computed tomography (CT) images for thoracic radiotherapy treatment (RT) planning. Our approach…

Purpose: To verify dose delivery and quality assurance of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for head and neck cancer. Method: The Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core Houston (IROC-H) head and neck phantom with thermo- luminescent…

Accurate radiotherapy dose calculation depends on converting CT Hounsfield Units (HU) to relative electron density (RED) using calibration curves. This study compared three different CT-to-RED calibration curves-two derived from physical…

The aim of this study is to set up statistical quality control for monitoring of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) delivery error using machine log data. Eclipse and Clinac iX linac with the RapidArc system (Varian Medical Systems,…

This study investigates the applicability of 3D dose predictions from a model trained on one modality to a cross-modality automated planning workflow. Additionally, we explore the impact of integrating a multi-criteria optimizer on adapting…

In current clinical practice, noisy and artifact-ridden weekly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are only used for patient setup during radiotherapy. Treatment planning is done once at the beginning of the treatment using…

Robust fine tuning of multi-leaf collimator (MLC) Treatment Planning System (TPS) modeling parameters is crucial for creating an optimal beam model, particularly with the ever-increasing accuracy required for advancing techniques.…

The authors propose robust adaptive strategies based on stochastic minimax optimization for a series of simulated treatments on a one-dimensional patient phantom. The plan applied during the first fractions should be able to handle…

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a key technology for enabling a wide range of applications in future wireless systems. However, the sensing performance is often degraded by model mismatches caused by geometric errors (e.g.,…

Purpose. - Radiotherapy is an important treatment for prostate cancer.During treatment sessions, bladder and rectal repletion is difficult to quantify and cannot be measured with a single and initial CT scan acquisition. Some methods, such…

A main barrier for the deployment of AI radiomic systems in clinical routine is their drop in performance under heterogeneous multicentre acquisition protocols. This work presents a performance-oriented framework for quantifying scan…

Purpose: We presented a GPU-based MC framework, ARCHER-EPID, specifically designed for EPID transit dosimetry, with improving accuracy and efficiency. Methods: A comprehensive MC framework was developed to perform full radiation transport…

Objectives: This study aims to characterize the dose-performance relationship for opportunistic CT and disentangle the contributions of segmentation failure and dose-dependent HU bias to performance degradation. Methods: Simulated low-dose…

In recent years, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has been becoming a more and more important radiation technique widely used in clinical application for cancer treatment. One of the key problems in VMAT is treatment plan…

Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) could protect organs at risk (OARs) while maintain high dose coverage to targets. However, there still lack efficient online patient QA methods. We aim to develop a clinically relevant online patient quality…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of modulated arc (mARC) treatment techniques. The mARC treatment plans of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were performed in order to verify the clinical…

Predictive dosimetry is central to enabling personalized radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), particularly in prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted theranostics. In this work, we develop a three layer computational framework that…

With X-ray radiation protection and dose management constantly gaining interest in interventional radiology, novel procedures often undergo prospective dose studies using anthropomorphic phantoms to determine expected dose values. Due to…

Purpose: To develop and evaluate DosimeTron, an agentic AI system for automated patient-specific MC internal radiation dosimetry in PET/CT examinations. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, DosimeTron was evaluated on a…
