Circulating Lymphocytes Preservation in Lung Cancer Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy with Ultra-Fast Proton Delivery Using Modularized Pin Ridge Filters
Duncan Bohannon, Ahmal Jawad Zafar, Sibo Tian +9
Purpose: Radiation-induced lymphopenia is an increasingly recognized toxicity in lung radiotherapy and has been linked to radiation exposure to circulating lymphocytes (CL). In int…
Streamlined Pin-Ridge-Filter Design for Single-energy Proton FLASH Planning
Chaoqiong Ma, Jun Zhou, Chih-Wei Chang +5
Purpose: This study explored the feasibility of a streamlined pin-shaped ridge filter (pin-RF) design for single-energy proton FLASH planning. Methods: An inverse planning framewor…
Deep learning-based Fast Volumetric Image Generation for Image-guided Proton FLASH Radiotherapy
Chih-Wei Chang, Yang Lei, Tonghe Wang +7
Proton FLASH therapy leverages ultra-high dose-rate radiation to enhance the sparing of organs at risk without compromising tumor control probability. To prepare for the delivery o…
Feasibility Study of Hybrid Inverse Planning with Transmission Beams and Single-energy Spread-out Bragg Peaks for Proton Flash Radiotherapy
Chaoqiong Ma, Xiaofeng Yang, Chih-Wei Chang +6
Ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) proton planning with only transmission beams (TBs) has limitations in normal tissue sparing. The single-energy spread-out Bragg peaks (SESOBPs) of FLAS…
Air, bone and soft-tissue Segmentation on 3D brain MRI Using Semantic Classification Random Forest with Auto-Context Model
Xue Dong, Yang Lei, Sibo Tian +7
As bone and air produce weak signals with conventional MR sequences, segmentation of these tissues particularly difficult in MRI. We propose to integrate patch-based anatomical sig…
