Brachytherapy

The following are descriptions of several brachytherapy research projects our medical physicists are currently pursuing: Deep Learning Tools for Automated Segmentation and Treatment Planning In Brachytherapy We have developed in-house deep learning based segmentation tools for HDR prostate brachytherapy that outperform commercial alternatives in accuracy. Ongoing research is focused on improving model performance and extending …

Adaptive Radiotherapy

The following are descriptions of several adaptive radiotherapy research projects that our medical physicists are currently pursuing: MRI-guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy MRI-guided radiation therapy provides a method by which we are able to observe daily changes in the patient’s internal anatomy. This can be caused by many factors, ranging from reduction in tumor size to …
