Radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) has become a hot topic due to an upward trend in the number of CT procedures worldwide and the relatively high doses associated with these procedures. The main aim of this review article is to provide an ove...
In 2018, Defence Research and Development Canada, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada, led a field trial of survey and mapping of a large dispersion of radioactivity using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The intent was to disperse La materi...

Aiming at the lack of quantitative evaluation methods in clinical diagnosis of lung cancer, a classification and prediction model of lung cancer based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) was constructed by using radiomics method. Firstly, the definition ...
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively assess the effect of CT slice thickness on the reproducibility of radiomic features (RFs) of lung cancer, and to investigate whether convolutional neural network (CNN)-based super-resolution (SR) algorithms can improve t...

PURPOSE: Pinnacle Auto-Planning and Eclipse RapidPlan are 2 major commercial automated planning engines that are fundamentally different: Auto-Planning mimics real planners in the iterative optimization, while RapidPlan generates static dose objectiv...
PURPOSE: It is common practice to perform patient-specific pretreatment verifications to the clinical delivery of IMRT. This process can be time-consuming and not altogether instructive due to the myriad sources that may produce a failing result. The...
PURPOSE: The CyberKnife M6 (CK-M6) Series introduced a multileaf collimator (MLC) for extending its capability from stereotactic radiosurgery/stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. This work is to investigate th...
Modern pre-clinical radiation therapy (RT) research requires high precision and accurate dosimetry to facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice. Several systems are available that provide precise delivery and on-board ima...
