Finite Element Method-Based Hybrid MRI/CBCT Generation to Improve Liver Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Targets Localization Accuracy
Journal Article IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences · January 1, 2025 Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is commonly used in treatment imaging, but its limited soft tissue contrast presents challenges for liver tumor localization. As a result, indirect localization methods relying on the liver’s boundary are commonly utilized, which have l ...

Journal Article The Journal of clinical investigation · January 2021 Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) kills more children than any other type of brain tumor. Despite clinical trials testing many chemotherapeutic agents, palliative radiotherapy remains the standard treatment. Here, we utilized Cre/loxP technology to s ...

Journal Article Sci Rep · November 20, 2019 Cooperating gene mutations are typically required to transform normal cells enabling growth in soft agar or in immunodeficient mice. For example, mutations in Kras and transformation-related protein 53 (Trp53) are known to transform a variety of mesenchyma ... Full text Open Access Link to item CiteRecent Grants
