Affiliation: Department of Computer Science, Wayne State University, Departments of Human Oncology and Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Human Oncology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Recent evidence highlights the importance of incorporating cardiac substructures (CS) into treatment planning for thoracic cancers, however current segmentation methods are limited to a singl...

Patient-Specific Coronary Artery Habitat Model for Enhanced Cardiac Sparing

Authors: Blessing Akinro, Soumyanil Banerjee, Ming Dong, Carri K. Glide-Hurst, Prashant Nagpal, Chase Ruff, Nicholas R. Summerfield, Timothy P. Szczykutowicz

Affiliation: Departments of Human Oncology and Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Departments of Radiology and Medical Physics, University Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Computer Science, Wayne State University, Department of Human Oncology

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiation dose to coronary arteries (CAs) during thoracic radiotherapy (RT) is linked to cardiotoxicity. However, precise CA delineation for avoidance is limited by image quality and CA compl...

Spatially Informed Auto-Segmentation of Cardiac Nodes for Radiotherapy Treatment Planning

Authors: Ming Dong, Carri K. Glide-Hurst, Joshua Pan, Nicholas R. Summerfield

Affiliation: Department of Computer Science, Wayne State University, Departments of Human Oncology and Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Human Oncology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiation dose to the cardiac nodes is more strongly associated with conduction disorders and arrythmias than whole heart (WH) metrics. However, node segmentation is challenging due to comple...
