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…
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…
A Retrospective Study on the Investigation of Potential Clinical Benefits of Online Adaptive Proton Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer
Chih-Wei Chang, Duncan Bohannon, Zhen Tian +6
Online adaptive proton therapy (APT) is an ideal solution theoretically, which however is challenging to proton clinics. Although multiple groups have been endeavoring to develop o…
Early in vivo Radiation Damage Quantification for Pediatric Craniospinal Irradiation Using Longitudinal MRI for Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy
Chih-Wei Chang, Matt Goette, Nadja Kadom +8
Purpose: Proton vertebral body sparing craniospinal irradiation (VBS CSI) treats the thecal sac while avoiding the anterior vertebral bodies in effort to reduce myelosuppression an…
