A Motion Analysis of Cardiac Substructures for Guiding Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radiotherapy Motion Management

Authors: Hongyu An, Phillip Cuculich, H Michael Gach, Yao Hao, Trevor McKeown, Clifford Robinson, Yuhao Wang, Deshan Yang

Affiliation: Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Washington University School of Medicine, Duke University, Department of Radiation Oncology, Duke University, Washington University in St. Louis, Department of Radiation Oncology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study investigated cardiac motion characteristics of ventricular tachycardia patients to support patient-specific motion management for stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR) treatm...

A Novel Group-Wise Non-Rigid Iterative Closest Point Shape Registration Algorithm with Temporal Smoothness Regularizations for Computing the Respiratory Motion of the Heart in Respiratory 4DCTs and Avoiding Random Cardiac Motion Artifacts

Authors: Hongyu An, Phillip Cuculich, H Michael Gach, Yao Hao, Trevor McKeown, Clifford Robinson, Yuhao Wang, Deshan Yang

Affiliation: Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Washington University School of Medicine, Duke University, Department of Radiation Oncology, Duke University, Washington University in St. Louis, Department of Radiation Oncology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Cardiorespiratory motion management is crucial in stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy to define target margins and minimize cardiac toxicity. While respiratory 4DCT (r4DCT) images can infer ...

A Virtual 4DCT Generator Based on a Digital Phantom with Joint Cardiac and Respiratory Motions

Authors: Phillip Cuculich, Geoffrey D. Hugo, Xiwen Li, Michael T. Prusator, Clifford Robinson, Pamela Samson, Xue Wu

Affiliation: Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, University of Utah, WashU Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
For development of novel motion management methods it is useful to have a digital phantom capable of realistic simulation of respiratory 4DCT acquisition of the thorax, including cycle-to-...

An Image Registration-Based Motion Correction Procedure to Recover Joint Cardiac and Respiratory Motion from Respiratory 4DCT

Authors: Phillip Cuculich, Geoffrey D. Hugo, Xiwen Li, Michael T. Prusator, Clifford Robinson, Pamela Samson, Xue Wu

Affiliation: Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, University of Utah, WashU Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR) requires compensation for both respiratory and cardiac motions of the heart. Respiratory 4DCT scans implicitly include cardiac motion and cycle-to-...

Registration of Radiation Simulation 3D Medical Imaging and Cardiac Electrophysiology of Porcine Left Ventricle Using a 17-Segment Model Framework.

Authors: Phillip Cuculich, Geoffrey D. Hugo, Nels C. Knutson, Luke Christian Marut, Eric D. Morris, Stacey Rentschler, Clifford Robinson, Christian Zemlin, Brian Zenger

Affiliation: Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, WashU Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy (STAR) is an emerging treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT) that uses radiation to modulate cardiac electrophysiology (EP) and reduce VT. Registratio...
