A Bayesian Model for the Detection of Local Ventilation Changes in Lung Cancer Patients

Authors: Bas W. Raaymakers, Mario Ries, Paris Tzitzimpasis, Cornel Zachiu

Affiliation: Department of Radiotherapy, University Medical Center Utrecht, University Medical Center Utrecht, UMC Utrecht

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiation pneumonitis affects approximately 10-30% of lung cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT), posing a significant dose-limiting factor. Recently developed CT-ventilation me...

Beyond Correlation: An Ultra-Large Physics-Driven Vascularized Tumor Model to Bridge Feature Formation with Underlying Biology

Authors: Jiayi Du, Lihua Jin, Ke Sheng, Yu Zhou

Affiliation: Harvard University, University of California, San Francisco, UCLA, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, San Francisco

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiomics enables powerful insights into tumor biology through non-invasive imaging, excelling in diagnostic and prognostic predictions. However, due to a lack of mechanistic connections, que...

Comparison of Cine Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging Performance: 0.6 T Versus 1.5 T, Is 0.6 T Fit for Purpose?

Authors: Jacinta E. Browne, Tzu Cheng Chao, Ajit Deveraj, Ece Ercan, Tim Leiner, Alessio Perazzolo, Michal Povazan, Jouke Smink, Camilla Vita, Spencer Waddle, Dinghui Wang

Affiliation: UniversitaΜ€ Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Philips Healthcare, Mayo Clinic

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
In recent years, mid-field MRI has shown promise to meet the technical demands of cardiac imaging1. Mid-field strengths offer advantages to CMR due to shorter T1-relaxation times, lower sp...

Development of a Brain-like Digital Reference Object of Resting-State Functional MRI

Authors: Henry Szu-Meng Chen, Mu-Lan Jen, Vinodh A. Kumar, Ho-Ling Anthony Liu, Jian Ming Teo

Affiliation: School of Medicine, University of Colorado Denver, Department of Neuroradiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Resting-state (rs-) fMRI detects functional networks by measuring synchronization of low-frequency oscillations in blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) signals between brain regions. Stan...

Longitudinal CMR Strain Analysis of Right Ventricular (RV) Function across Aging in Offspring of Baboons Exposed to Moderate Maternal Undernutrition

Authors: Geoffrey D. Clarke, Laura A. Cox, Alexander J Moody, Peter W Nathanielsz, Bowen Yang

Affiliation: Wake Forest University School of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Texas Biomedical Research Institute

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
Recent studies show diagnostic value of myocardial strain analysis for left ventricular (LV) function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). RV function analysis is more challengi...

Novel Methods to Select Patients for Functional Avoidance Radiotherapy

Authors: Vikas Aragam, Edward Castillo, Richard Castillo, Yingxuan Chen, Yevgeniy Vinogradskiy, Lydia J. Wilson

Affiliation: Thomas Jefferson University, Emory University, University of Texas at Austin

Abstract Preview: Purpose: 4DCT-based ventilation imaging (4DCT-ventilation) has been innovatively applied in radiotherapy treatment planning to minimize doses to functional portions of the lung, known as functional av...
