PURPOSE: Stereotactic magnetic resonance guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) is a new option for local treatment of unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, showing interesting survival and local control (LC) results. Despite this, some p...
BACKGROUND: Conventional proton dose calculation methods are either time- and resource-intensive, like Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, or they sacrifice accuracy, as seen with analytical methods. This trade-off between computational efficiency and accu...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of brain metastases on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is tedious and time-consuming for radiologists that could be optimized with deep learning (DL). Previous studies assessed several DL algorithms focu...
The incidence of head and neck tumours is rising significantly worldwide. Radiotherapy has a significant role in their treatment, not only after surgery, but also as a definitive treatment, as an organ-preserving modality. Nowadays, the incidence of ...

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a HyperArc-based RapidPlan (HARP) model for three-fraction brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) plans to then use to replan previously treated five-fraction SRT plans. Demonstrating the possibility of reducing the ...
Precise patient positioning is paramount in radiosurgery to ensure the accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This study focuses on the development and validation of a robust forward kinematics (FK) model...

PURPOSE: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a global health concern, marked by increasing incidence rates and poor outcomes. This study seeks to develop a robust predictive model by integrating radiomics and deep learning features with clinical d...
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used for managing brain metastases (BMs), but an adverse effect, radionecrosis, complicates post-SRS management. Differentiating radionecrosis from tumor recurrence non-invasively remains a major ...

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the feasibility of using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone beam computed tomography (RB-CBCT) platform to perform low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) implants in a mechanically ventilated human cadaveric model. Po...
BACKGROUND: Dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance (QA) for linear accelerators (LINACs) present a significant challenge for clinical physicists due to the high measurement workload and stringent precision standards. This challenge is exacerb...
