An Automated Solution to Staged Treatments for Arteriovenous Malformations in Gammaknife

Authors: Strahinja Stojadinovic, Robert Timmerman, Yulong Yan

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

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiosurgery for large (>10cc) arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) poses significant challenges due to increased risks of complications and lower obliteration rates. To mitigate toxicity, larg...

Improving Post-SRS Brain Metastasis Radionecrosis Diagnosis Accuracy Via Deep Feature Space Analysis

Authors: Evan Calabrese, Scott R. Floyd, Kyle J. Lafata, Zachary J. Reitman, Eugene Vaios, Chunhao Wang, Lana Wang, Deshan Yang, Zhenyu Yang, Jingtong Zhao

Affiliation: Duke University, Department of Radiation Oncology, Duke University, Duke Kunshan University

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
This study proposes a novel neural ordinary differential equation (NODE) framework to distinguish post-SRS radionecrosis from recurrence in brain metastases (BMs). By integrating imaging f...

Patient-Specific Coronary Artery Habitat Model for Enhanced Cardiac Sparing

Authors: Blessing Akinro, Soumyanil Banerjee, Ming Dong, Carri K. Glide-Hurst, Prashant Nagpal, Chase Ruff, Nicholas R. Summerfield, Timothy P. Szczykutowicz

Affiliation: Departments of Human Oncology and Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Departments of Radiology and Medical Physics, University Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Computer Science, Wayne State University, Department of Human Oncology

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiation dose to coronary arteries (CAs) during thoracic radiotherapy (RT) is linked to cardiotoxicity. However, precise CA delineation for avoidance is limited by image quality and CA compl...

Two-Stage Clustering and Auto Machine Learning to Predict Chemoradiation Response in Tumor Subregions on FDG PET for La-NSCLC

Authors: Stephen R. Bowen, Shijun Chen, Chunyan Duan, Daniel S. Hippe, Qiantuo Liu, Qianqian Tong, Jiajie Wang, Shouyi Wang, Faisal Yaseen

Affiliation: The University of Texas at Austin, Tongji University, University of Washington, Department of Radiation Oncology, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, University of Texas at Arlington

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Tumor subregion clustering and prediction of region-specific response can augment assessments and adaptive treatment decisions. A modeling framework was constructed to predict chemoradiation ...
