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…
Foundation Models in Medical Image Analysis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Praveenbalaji Rajendran, Mojtaba Safari, Wenfeng He +4
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly foundation models (FMs), have revolutionized medical image analysis, demonstrating strong zero- and few-shot perfo…
Patient-Specific Deep Reinforcement Learning for Automatic Replanning in Head-and-Neck Cancer Proton Therapy
Malvern Madondo, Yuan Shao, Yingzi Liu +3
Anatomical changes during intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for head-and-neck cancer (HNC) can shift Bragg peaks, risking tumor underdosing and organ-at-risk overdosing. Tr…
Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation for Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia: A Narrative Review and Exploratory Pooled Analysis of Clinical Outcomes and Toxicity
Keyur D. Shah, Chih-Wei Chang, Sibo Tian +6
Purpose: Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) is a non-invasive salvage therapy for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT), especially in patients ineligible for catheter…
Clinically Interpretable Survival Risk Stratification in Head and Neck Cancer Using Bayesian Networks and Markov Blankets
Keyur D. Shah, Ibrahim Chamseddine, Xiaohan Yuan +8
Purpose: To identify a clinically interpretable subset of survival-relevant features in HN cancer using Bayesian Network (BN) and evaluate its prognostic and causal utility. Method…
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…
