Comparison of Dose Metrics to Critical Heart Substructures for Different Planning Techniques, and Scan Techniques for Right Sided Breast Irradiation

Authors: Wesley A. Belcher, Aidan Burke, Matthew Green, Taylor Stamey

Affiliation: ECU Health, East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using deep inhalation breath hold (DIBH) vs. free breathing (FB) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) vs. 3D for right-sid...

Decoupling Cardiorespiratory Motion of Cardiac Substructures Via 5D-MRI for Radiotherapy

Authors: Carri K. Glide-Hurst, Thomas M Grist, Kevin M. Johnson, Prashant Nagpal, Tarun Naren, Chase Ruff, Oliver Wieben, Jiwei Zhao

Affiliation: Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin - Madison, Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Departments of Human Oncology and Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Cardiotoxicity is a devastating side effect for thoracic radiotherapy (RT). Currently, standard RT imaging is insufficient to decouple cardiorespiratory motion, limiting substructure-specific...

Expert Verification of AI-Generated Cardiac Substructures and Dosimetric Differences between Auto-Contoured and Manually Delineated Contours

Foundation Models with Balanced Data Sampling Enhance Auto-Segmentation for Cardiac Substructures

Authors: Chloe Min Seo Choi, Nikhil Mankuzhy, Aneesh Rangnekar, Andreas Rimner, Maria Thor, Harini Veeraraghavan, Abraham Wu

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Department of Medical Physics, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Cardiac substructure irradiation predisposes patients for poor outcomes in thoracic radiation therapy. A deep learning model was developed to segment the cardiac substructures invariant to co...

Mask-Based Synthetic Contrast-Enhanced CT Generation for Advancing Data Limited Segmentation on Cardiac Substructure

Authors: Jin Sung Kim, Chanwoong Lee, Young Hun Yoon

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center, Heavy Ion Therapy Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Chest contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) serves as a valuable tool for cardiac imaging, but its lack of detailed anatomical visualization limits its utility in segmentation tasks. While CECT offers ...
