Stanford researchers have developed a novel phantom which can integrate quality assurance (QA) procedures for radiofrequency tracking system, surface mapping system, Winston-Lutz test, the imaging system isocenter test and laser verification.
Stanford researchers at the Xing Lab have developed a novel method using deep neural networks called "Q2MRI" to simultaneously acquire qualitative MR image and quantitative MRI parametric maps without changing the clinical imaging protocol or elongating MRI scan tim
Stanford researchers have developed a novel and efficient method for generating real-time 3D volumetric computed tomography (CT) images with 2D single or few-view projections, instead of several hundreds of projections as required in existing CT imaging system.
Several linear accelerator vendors have systems with single x-ray imager. A single x-ray imager presents a challenge to estimate 3D positioning. A method to estimate the 3D position using a single x-ray imager with prior information has been developed by Stanford researchers.
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.
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).
Stanford researchers have developed a portable particle accelerator – the SLAC Piezoelectric Accelerator Neutron Source (SPAN). When combined with an ion source and a deuterated target, this piezoelectric, high-voltage generator makes a compact neutron generator system.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel scheme of treatment planning and delivery of radiation therapy, termed station parameter optimized radiation therapy, or SPORT.
A team of Stanford researchers have identified a novel small molecule that could be used in vivo or ex vivo to enrich for submandibular salivary gland (SMG) stem cell (SC).
