BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Motion management is essential to reduce normal tissue exposure and maintain adequate tumor dose in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Lung SBRT using an articulated robotic arm allows dynamic tracking during rad...
PURPOSE: Close MRI surveillance of patients with brain metastases following Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) treatment is essential for assessing treatment response and the current disease status in the brain. This follow-up necessitates the compariso...
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic body radiotherapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors has to account for respiratory intrafractional tumor motion. Commonly, an external breathing signal is continuously acquired that serves as a surrogate of the tumor motion an...

PURPOSE: Predicting recurrence following stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for non-small cell lung cancer provides important information for the feasibility of the individualized radiotherapy and allows to select the appropriate treatment strateg...
OBJECTIVE: Radiation necrosis (RN) can be difficult to radiographically discern from tumor progression after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The objective of this study was to investigate the utility of radiomics and machine learning (ML) to differe...
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) effectively treats brain metastases. It can provide local control, symptom relief, and improved survival rates, but it poses challenges in selecting optimal candidates, determining dose and fractionation, m...
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the predictive value of the pre-treatment diffusion parameters of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) using artificial intelligence (AI) for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response in patients with low...

PURPOSE: To develop a novel deep ensemble learning model for accurate prediction of brain metastasis (BM) local control outcomes after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
BACKGROUND/AIM: Overall survival (OS)-predictive models to clinically stratify patients with stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) are still unavailable. The aim of this work was to build a p...
