A Comparative Dosimetric Study of Proton and Photon Therapy in Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation for Ventricular Tachycardia
Keyur D. Shah, Chih-Wei Chang, Pretesh Patel +8
Purpose: VT is a life-threatening arrhythmia commonly treated with catheter ablation; however, some cases remain refractory to conventional treatment. STAR has emerged as a non-inv…
Ultrafast Proton Delivery with Pin Ridge Filters (pRFs): A Novel Approach for Motion Management in Proton Therapy
Ahmal Jawad Zafar, Xiaofeng Yang, Yinan Wang +2
Active breath-hold techniques effectively mitigate respiratory motion but pose challenges for patients who are ineligible for the procedure. Conventional treatment planning relies…
Using Modularized Pin Ridge Filter in Proton FLASH Planning for Liver Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy
Chaoqiong Ma, Xiaofeng Yang, Yinan Wang +3
We previously developed a FLASH planning framework for streamlined pin-ridge-filter (pin-RF) design, demonstrating its feasibility for single-energy proton FLASH planning. In this…
Adaptive Proton Therapy Using CBCT-Guided Digital Twins
Chih-Wei Chang, Zhen Tian, Richard L. J. Qiu +8
This study aims to develop a digital twin (DT) framework to enhance adaptive proton stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer. Prostate SBRT has emerged as a l…
