BACKGROUND: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a crucial daily imaging modality in image-guided and adaptive radiotherapy. However, the use of ionizing radiation in CBCT imaging increases the risk of secondary cancers, which is particularly conc...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tumor bed (TB) is the residual cavity of resected tumor after surgery. Delineating TB from CT is crucial in generating clinical target volume for radiotherapy. Due to multiple surgical effects and low image contrast, segmentin...

PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation therapy enables online adaptation to address intra- and interfractional changes. To address the need of high-fidelity synthetic computed tomography (synCT) required for dose calculation, we developed ...
BACKGROUND: Salvage radiation therapy (sRT) is often the sole curative option in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. After sRT, we developed and validated a nomogram to predict freedom from biochemical failure.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiotherapy (RT) is expanding rapidly. However, there exists a notable lack of clinician trust in AI models, underscoring the need for effective uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods. ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is known for its accurate soft tissue delineation of tumors and normal tissues. This development has significantly impacted the imaging and treatment of cancers. Radiomics is the process of extracting high-dimensional...

PURPOSE: To develop a non-coplanar cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image reconstruction method using projections within a limited angle range for non-coplanar radiotherapy.
Accurate and precise rigid registration between head-neck computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is crucial for correcting setup errors in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for head and neck tumors. However, conventio...
A robotic needle implant device for MR-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy was developed. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and spatial accuracy of HDR brachytherapy using the robotic device, for a single intraprostatic target...
