OBJECTIVE: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been increasingly applied for malignant meningiomas as an alternative to conventionally fractioned radiation therapy. We performed a retrospective analysis of an institutional patient cohort with maligna...
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy continues to be delivered uniformly without consideration of individual tumor characteristics. To advance toward more precise treatments in radiotherapy, we queried the lung computed tomography (CT)-derived feature space to i...
PURPOSE: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used to obliterate arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Its performance relies on the accuracy of delineating the target AVM. Manual segmentation during a framed SRS procedure is time consuming and su...

INTRODUCTION: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) image quality is important for its quantitative analysis in adaptive radiation therapy. However, due to severe artifacts, the CBCTs are primarily used for verifying patient setup only so far. We have developed a lear...

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a relatively novel treatment modality, with little post-treatment prognostic information reported. This study proposes a novel neural network based paradigm for accurate prediction of liver SBRT outcomes....

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dosimetric effects of HyperArc-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and a robotic radiosurgery system-based planning using CyberKnife for multiple cranial metastases. In total, 11 cancer pati...
OBJECTIVES: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a minimally invasive modality for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Outcome prediction of this modality is very important for proper case selection. The aim of this study was to create artifici...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a sliding-window convolutional neural network (CNN) for radioactive seed identification in MRI of the prostate after permanent implant brachytherapy.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the sensitivity and specificity of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) nidal component identification and quantification using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm and to evaluate the association between intervening nidal brai...
PURPOSE: Robotic stabilization of a therapeutic radiation beam with respect to a dynamically moving tumor target can be accomplished either by moving the radiation source, the patient, or both. As the treatment beam is on during this process, the pri...
