A Novel Multi-Material Decomposition Algorithm for Improved Material Quantification Using Dual-Energy CT

Authors: Dale Black, David Clymer, Huanjun Ding, Hamidreza Khodajou Chokami, Sabee Molloi, Christine Vy Nguyen, Tim Sananikone, Alireza Shojazadeh, Randy Wang

Affiliation: Department of Radiological Sciences, University of California, University of California, Department of Radiological Sciences, University of California, Irvine, Department of Radiological Sciences, University of California, Irvine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: We present a novel multi-material decomposition (MMD) algorithm for accurate quantification of material concentration in reconstructed dual-energy CT images. This method addresses limitations...

An Initial Simulation Study Towards the Patient-Specific Estimation of Stopping Power Ratio and Sound Velocity Using Protoacoustics: A Sensitivity Matrix Method

Authors: Ye Chen, Koki Kasamatsu, Taeko Matsuura, Taichi Murakami

Affiliation: Hokkaido University, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST)

Abstract Preview: Purpose: In proton therapy, CT-based estimation of the stopping power ratio (SPR) is a significant source of range uncertainty. Protoacoustics have been developed to estimate the range in vivo, but fe...

Automated Decision Workflow Using Fast Monte Carlo Dose Calculations for Daily Adaptive Proton Therapy

Authors: Ergun E. Ahunbay, Abdul Parchur, Eric S. Paulson, Ilaria Rinaldi, Angelo Schiavi, Li Zhao

Affiliation: Sapienza University of Rome, Department of Radiation Oncology (Maastro), GROW School for Oncology, Maastricht University Medical Centre+, Department of Radiation Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Online adaptive replanning is often necessary in Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) due to the sensitivity of proton dose distributions to daily anatomical changes. A rapid, automated ...

Denoising Diffusion-Weighted Images of Rectal Cancer Acquired on a 0.35 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Linear Accelerator Using Singular Value Decomposition

Authors: Jacqueline M. Andreozzi, Tess Armstrong, Shiva Bhandari, John M Bryant, Jessica M Frakes, David J. Gladstone, Sarah E Hoffe, Kujtim Latifi, Arash Naghavi, Steven Nichols, Ibrahim M. Oraiqat, Russell Palm, Gage H. Redler, Stephen A Rosenberg, Joseph Weygand

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology and Applied Science, Dartmouth Health, Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, Department of Radiation Oncology, Ohio State University, Moffitt Cancer Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Moffitt Cancer Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The MR-linac provides unique opportunities for integrating advanced imaging into radiotherapy workflows, but the lower sensitivity of systems like the 0.35T model can pose challenges for diff...

Skin Lesion Subtype Classification Using Lesion and Border Radiomic Features

Authors: Rituparna Basak, Maede Boroji, Renee F Cattell, Vahid Danesh, Imin Kao, Kartik Mani, Xin Qian, Samuel Ryu, Tiezhi Zhang

Affiliation: Stony Brook Medicine, Stony Brook University, Washington University in St. Louis, Stony Brook University Hospital

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Fundamental qualitative characteristics physicians use to differentiate skin lesion subtypes include asymmetry, border irregularity, and color. Radiomic features have potential to quantify th...
