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…
Optimizing Transmission FLASH Radiotherapy for Large-Field Post-Mastectomy Breast Treatment
Ahmal Jawad Zafar, Sunil William Dutta, Matthew Joseph Case +5
We investigated the effects of scanning speed, beam configuration, and dose-rate modeling on the FLASH effect in post-mastectomy proton transmission-beam (TB) planning and evaluate…
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…
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…
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…
