A Dosimetric Analysis of Lu-177-Based Radiopharmaceutical Therapy for Optimizing Therapeutic Ratio

Authors: Travis James McCaw, Ravi Patel, Abdelhamid Saoudi, Joseph Shields

Affiliation: UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, UPMC

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The current treatment approach for Lu-177-based radiopharmaceutical therapy involves multiple administrations, each delivering a constant activity of 200 mCi. This study evaluates whether the...

A Simple and Reliable Method to Determine Patients Eligible for Treatment on the Novel Biological Guided Radiotherapy (BgRT) System Based on FDG Uptake in Nearby Non-Treatment Regions.

Authors: Brett Lewis, Roland Teboh

Affiliation: HUMC, Hackensack University Medical Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The novel RefleXion SCINTIX BgRT system relies on the FDG uptake distribution from a PET study to plan and deliver dose. One of the patient eligibility criteria is that any uptake outside the...

Bgrt Patient Eligibility Check Via Comparing User Defined Ring Around the Biologically Tracking Zone (BTZ) in PET Images

Authors: Resat Aydin, Brett Lewis, Jayesh Mistry, Roland Teboh

Affiliation: HUMC, Hackensack University Medical Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
We developed a Python-based solution to systematically quantify and detect fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake beyond a predefined Biologically Tracking Zone (BTZ) in PET images. This method i...

Clinical Application of Biology-Guided Radiotherapy (BgRT) to Patient Having a Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED)

Authors: Girish Bal, Thomas I. Banks, Bin Cai, Yesenia Gonzalez, Zohaib Iqbal, Paul M. Medin, Rameshwar Prasad, Chenyang Shen, Robert Timmerman, Yuanyuan Zhang

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology, UT Southwestern Medical Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center, RefleXion Medical

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Each year more than one million pacemakers and 200k cardioverter-defibrillators are implanted in patients worldwide. The presence of a CIED introduces challenges to the delivery of radiation ...

Evaluation of the Imaging Performance of PET-Linac As Compared to a Diagnostic PET/CT System for Small Tumors

Authors: Muhammad Ramish Ashraf, Girish Bal, Daniel Pham, Murat Surucu

Affiliation: RefleXion Medical, Department of Radiation Oncology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford University

Abstract Preview: Purpose: To systematically evaluate the relationship between Activity Concentration (AC) obtained from the RefleXion PET-Linac with the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) derived from a diagno...
