Comparitive Case Analysis of Maa Mapping and Angiographic Iodinated Contrast for Y-90 SIRT Treatment Planning

Authors: Shengwen Deng, Sven L. Gallo, Robert S. Jones, David W. Jordan, Arashdeep Kaur, Aishwarya M. Kulkarni, Quibai Li, William R.M. Pedersen

Affiliation: Department of Radiology, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center; School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Department of Radiology, Radiation Safety, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Department of Radiology, Radiation Safety, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center; School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University; Department of Radiology, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
Y-90 (Yttrium) SIRT radioembolization takes advantage of delivering localized radiation to the liver. Pre-treatment dosimetry is highly dependent on accurate MAA mapping, which may have an...

Improving 4D-MRI Parameters for Abdominal Tumor Motion Management: A Phantom Study

Authors: Morgan Aire, Krystal M. Kirby, Olivia Magneson, David E. Solis

Affiliation: Louisiana State University, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: For soft-tissue abdominal tumors, a 4D-MR may provide improved tumor tracking over the clinical standard 4D-CT. This project aims to optimize a clinically available 4D-MR pulse sequence to ac...

Isocenter Optimization for Linear Accelerator-Based Radiosurgical Treatment Planning for Multiple Brain Metastases

Authors: J. Daniel Bourland, Christina K Cramer, Justin M. Napolitano, James D. Ververs

Affiliation: Wake Forest University School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
Brain metastases (BM) can be treated with linear accelerator (LINAC)-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Treatment planning for this modality has evolved over time; treatment plans typi...

Moving Towards Independent Assays of 90y Glass Microsphere Activity: Monte Carlo Simulation with Experimental Data

Authors: Mercy Iyabode Akerele, Yuni K. Dewaraja, Richard Laforest, Justin K. Mikell, Wendy Siman, Allan Thomas, Daniel Thorek

Affiliation: University of Michigan, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Washington University School of Medicine, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, School of Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Post-therapy quantitative 90Y SPECT and PET measurements show ~25% lower activity than vendor-reported values for glass microspheres. We hypothesize this discrepancy is due to bremsstrahlung ...
