Accuracy of Photon Dose Calculation on Photon-Counting Computed Tomography—A Comparison Study Based on Virtual Monoenergetic and Electron Density (Rho) Images for Pancreatic Cases
Journal Article Advances in Radiation Oncology · February 1, 2026 Purpose: Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) offers versatile anatomic information because of better energy discrimination and higher spatial resolution than conventional energy-integrating computed tomography (CT). With its rapid applications in di ... Full text CiteQuantitative Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence-Based Organ Segmentation Across Multiple Anatomic Sites Using 8 Commercial Software Platforms.
Journal Article Pract Radiat Oncol · 2026 PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentation variability across 8 commercial artificial intelligence (AI)-based segmentation software using independent multi-institutional data sets, and to provide recommendations for clinical pr ...

Journal Article Med Phys · January 2026 BACKGROUND: Treatment plan optimization is foundational for radiotherapy. However, the geometry of the underlying search space where feasible solutions reside remains poorly characterized. Understanding this search space is crucial as it: (1) Exposes hidde ...
