Auto-Contouring of OAR Enhances Patient Safety and Workflow in Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Authors: Sven Ferguson, S. Murty Goddu, Ana Heermann, Taeho Kim, Nels C. Knutson, Hugh HC Lee, Shanti Marasini, Timothy Mitchell, Seungjong Oh, Kevin Renick

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

Abstract Preview: Purpose: In the Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GK-SRS), the delineation of organs-at-risks (OARs) was not fully automated. Due to the cumbersome nature of manual OAR contouring, dose evaluatio...

Clinical Outcomes of Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatments for Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations & Fistulas: A Single Institutional Retrospective Study

Authors: Madeleine Arbogast, David Dorndos, Denise E Foltz, Justin Fraser, Damodar Pokhrel, William St Clair

Affiliation: University of Kentucky, Department of Radiation Medicine, University of Kentucky, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Kentucky, Radiation Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: For stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and fistulas (AVF), same-day Leksell Gamma Knife (GK) is the preferred modality. Long-term cli...

Design of Filtimator (Filter + Collimator) for CBCT of Pediatric Cancer Patients Receiving Proton Therapy

Authors: Soon N. Huh, Perry B. Johnson, Jiyeon Park, Ryan Stevens

Affiliation: University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute, UF Health Proton Therapy Institute, UFHPTI

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) doses shall be limited for pediatric patients in clinical settings. Device called Filtimator (filter+collimator) was custom designed to reduce setup CB...

Development and Clinical Validation of Hyperarc Stereotactic Radiosurgery Method for Intraocular Tumors

Authors: Chase Cochran, Damodar Pokhrel, William St Clair

Affiliation: University of Kentucky, Department of Radiation Medicine, University of Kentucky, Radiation Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Currently, intraocular disease is primarily treated via COMS-plaques brachytherapy. Various stereotactic approaches via photons/proton beam have also been implemented (CyberKnife/GammaKnife/p...

Formulation of Equivalent Dose in 2-Gy Fractions (EQD2) Based on the Linear-Quadratic-Linear (LQL) Model from First Principles

Authors: Makunda Aryal, Qiongge Li, Sook Kien Ng, Christopher F. Njeh, Edwin Quashie, Senthamizhchelvan Srinivasan, Yun Wang

Affiliation: Indiana University Medical School, Memorial Health Care System, Indiana University, Inova Hospital, Indiana University School of Medicine, Department of Radiation Oncology

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Linear-Quadratic-Linear (LQL) model is a modification of the traditional Linear-Quadratic model used in radiobiology to describe cell survival in response to radiation. The LQL model extends ...

Integrating Neuroanatomic Knowledge in Clinical Target Volumes for Glioma Patients Using Deep Learning

Authors: Ali Ajdari, Thomas R. Bortfeld, Christopher Bridge, Gregory Buti, Marcela Giovenco, Fredrik Lofman, Gregory C. Sharp, Helen A Shih, Tugba Yilmaz

Affiliation: Massachusetts General Hospital, RaySearch Laboratories, Department Of Radiation Oncology, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Defining radiation target volumes with accurate integration of the neuroanatomy is one of the major difficulties in designing glioma treatments. We developed a deep learning network for norma...

Robust and Radiobiologically Accurate Dose Summation Strategy for Multiple Courses of Stereotactic Re-Irradiation of Metastatic Brain Cancer Patients with Previous WBRT

Authors: Garrett Russell Hamilton, Joshua Misa, Damodar Pokhrel, William St. Clair

Affiliation: University of Kentucky, Department of Radiation Medicine, University of Kentucky, Radiation Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Recurrent brain metastasis is very common, and patients who previously received whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) may receive an additional course(s) of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to selec...
