In the presence of intra-fraction organ motion, target localization uncertainty can hamper the advantage of using highly conformal dose techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Real-time internal target position estimation is of high interest in radiotherapy, particularly with the recent development of robotic, linear accelerator, DMLC and couch-based systems which can continuously align the radiation beam with the target.
Stanford researchers have developed a method that can tune the ratio between reversible (RE) and irreversible (IRE) electroporation through waveform adjustments.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a system for improved scatter correction in CT scans by simultaneously collecting image projection data and scatter data in a single scan.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel scheme of treatment planning and delivery of radiation therapy, termed station parameter optimized radiation therapy, or SPORT.
Researcher in Prof. Lei Xing's laboratory have developed an improved method for Monitor Unit ("MU") calculations in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and efficient method for Monitor Unit ("MU") calculation for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
