BACKGROUND: In the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA) 35 trial, patients are selected for proton treatment based on simulated reductions of Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) for proton compared to photon treatment at the referrin...
. This study aimed to develop a novel method for generating synthetic CT (sCT) from cone-beam CT (CBCT) of the abdomen/pelvis with bowel gas pockets to facilitate estimation of proton ranges.. CBCT, the same-day repeat CT, and the planning CT (pCT) o...
BACKGROUND: Many studies have utilized optical camera systems with volumetric scintillators for quality assurances (QA) to estimate the proton beam range. However, previous analytically driven range estimation methods have the difficulty to derive th...

The confounder-corrected chemical shift-encoded MRI (CSE-MRI) sequence used to determine proton density fat fraction (PDFF) for hepatic fat quantification is not widely available. As an alternative, hepatic fat can be assessed by a two-point Dixon m...
Functional lung imaging modalities such as hyperpolarized gas MRI ventilation enable visualization and quantification of regional lung ventilation; however, these techniques require specialized equipment and exogenous contrast, limiting clinical adop...
This literature review presents a comprehensive overview of machine learning (ML) applications in proton MR spectroscopy (MRS). As the use of ML techniques in MRS continues to grow, this review aims to provide the MRS community with a structured over...
PURPOSE: An end-to-end differentiable 2D Bloch simulation is used to reduce T induced blurring in single-shot turbo spin echo sequences, also called rapid imaging with refocused echoes (RARE) sequences, by using a joint optimization of refocusing fli...
