A Method for Automatic Working Angle Prediction during Intracranial Aneurysms Embolization

Authors: Tina Ehtiati, Grace Jianan Gang, Limei Ma, Oleg Shekhtman, Visish M. Srinivasan

Affiliation: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., University of Pennsylvania

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Saccular aneurysms are the most common type of intracranial aneurysm and are typically treated by endovascular embolization. The procedure requires approximately orthogonal fluoroscopy images...

Advancing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Safety Clearance: Utilizing Dual-Energy CT (DECT) Material Decomposition for Foreign Object Assessment

Authors: Anzi Zhao

Affiliation: Northwestern Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study investigates the utility of Dual-Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) material decomposition in resolving Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) safety concerns for patients with unidentifi...

Contrast-Free Full Intracranial Vessel Geometry Estimation from MRI with Metric Learning-Based Inference

Authors: Zhaoyang Fan, Eric Nguyen, Dan Ruan, Jiayu Xiao

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, Los Angeles, Department of Radiology, University of Southern California, University of Southern California

Abstract Preview: Purpose: MR vessel wall imaging (VWI) has been shown to be effective for evaluating intracranial atherosclerosis disease. However, VWI typically also requires an MR angiography (MRA) in the same imagi...

Dosimetric Evaluation of the Aldo Function for Multiple Brain Metastases in Automated Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment Planning

Authors: Hsiao-Mei Fu, Shih-Ming Hsu, Chia-Ting Lee, Shih-Hua Liu, Tsung-Yu Yen

Affiliation: National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Mackay Memorial Hospital

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The Automatic Lower Dose Objective (ALDO) is a unique function designed to achieve 98% relative coverage across all targets in automated SRS treatment planning (HyperArc planning). This study...

Effects of Plan Optimization Techniques on Relative Biological Effective Dose in a Thin Intracranial Target Volume

Authors: Sean P. Boyer, Shae Gans, Mingcheng Gao, Draik B. Hecksel, Mark Pankuch

Affiliation: Northwestern Medicine Proton Center, Northwestern Medicine Chicago Proton Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Protons deposit a large portion of their energy at the end of their range in a region known as the Bragg peak, which may increase the relative biological effective (RBE) dose in this region. ...

Minimizing Positioning Errors in Intracranial SRS: The Role of Verification Imaging after 6-Dof Corrections

Authors: Anthony J. Doemer, Yimei Huang, Benjamin Movsas, Ellen Park, Mira Shah, Salim Siddiqui, Karen C. Snyder, Kundan S Thind, Bo Zhao

Affiliation: Henry Ford Health

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The 6 degrees-of-freedom (6-DoF) robotic couch is considered essential for linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), particularly for irregularly shaped targets adjacent to critical organs...
