THE DECADE OF THE RABiT (2005-15).

Radiation protection dosimetry
The RABiT (Rapid Automated Biodosimetry Tool) is a dedicated Robotic platform for the automation of cytogenetics-based biodosimetry assays. The RABiT was developed to fulfill the critical requirement for triage following a mass radiological or nuclea...

High resolution ion chamber array delivery quality assurance for robotic radiosurgery: Commissioning and validation.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: High precision radiosurgery demands comprehensive delivery-quality-assurance techniques. The use of a liquid-filled ion-chamber-array for robotic-radiosurgery delivery-quality-assurance was investigated and validated using several test scena...

Accelerated partial breast irradiation using robotic radiotherapy: a dosimetric comparison with tomotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is a new breast treatment modality aiming to reduce treatment time using hypo fractionation. Compared to conventional whole breast irradiation that takes 5 to 6 weeks, APBI is reported to indu...

Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for vestibular schwannomas: Dosimetric factors predictive of hearing outcomes.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: To determine dosimetric factors predictive of hearing loss in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients treated with definitive fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT), and to report tumor control, serviceable hearing preservation, and ...

Robotic radiosurgery system patient-specific QA for extracranial treatments using the planar ion chamber array and the cylindrical diode array.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Robotic radiosurgery system has been increasingly employed for extracranial treatments. This work is aimed to study the feasibility of a cylindrical diode array and a planar ion chamber array for patient-specific QA with this robotic radiosurgery sys...

Prediction of the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy using computational intelligence.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are investigated to predict the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy. In the proposed models, the input parameters are field size (...

Multicenter development of a deep learning radiomics and dosiomics nomogram to predict radiation pneumonia risk in non-small cell lung cancer.

Scientific reports
Radiation pneumonia (RP) is the most common side effect of chest radiotherapy, and can affect patients' quality of life. This study aimed to establish a combined model of radiomics, dosiomics, deep learning (DL) based on simulated location CT and dos...

RadField3D: a data generator and data format for deep learning in radiation-protection dosimetry for medical applications.

Journal of radiological protection : official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection
In this research work, we present our open-source Geant4-based Monte-Carlo simulation application, called RadField3D, for generating three-dimensional radiation field datasets for dosimetry. Accompanying, we introduce a fast, machine-interpretable da...

Deep Learning-Based Prediction of Radiation Therapy Dose Distributions in Nasopharyngeal Carcinomas: A Preliminary Study Incorporating Multiple Features Including Images, Structures, and Dosimetry.

Technology in cancer research & treatment
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is currently the most important treatment method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to enhance prediction accuracy by incorporating dose information into a deep convolutional neural network (...

Deep Learning for Patient-Specific Quality Assurance: Predicting Gamma Passing Rates for IMRT Based on Delivery Fluence Informed by log Files.

Technology in cancer research & treatment
In this study, we propose a deep learning-based approach to predict Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) gamma passing rates using delivery fluence informed by log files. A total of 112 IMRT plans for chest cancers we...
