Check out our new paper on determining robustness for treating H&N cancer patients with proton radiotherapy using daily synthetic CTs. And stop by our eposter on Sunday at 4pm at #AAPM2023 to learn more @EmileGogineni @LeslieChangMD @PagingDrPage mdpi.com/2072-6694/15/14/371…
Daily Head and Neck Treatment Assessment for Optimal Proton Therapy Planning Robustness

Daily Head and Neck Treatment Assessment for Optimal Proton Therapy Planning Robustness

Robust optimization in proton therapy ensures adequate target coverage; however, validation of fractional plan quality and setup uncertainty in patients has not been performed. We aimed to assess...

We can't go back. We won't go back. And we're putting our bodies on the line to prove it. Join us in Washington, DC on July 9th - because if our leaders won't take action, we will. womensmarch.com/rage

Currently our field undervalues negative studies but they are important to publish so future investigators can limit their focus and not repeat these unsuccessful avenues. Laurence does a great job showing the successes and failures when he talks about radiomics.

T4. Sometimes we just find that results can’t be reproduced with other patient populations, or that radiomics signatures are not that robust or reproducible (even when patient cohorts seem similar). #RadAIchat @RGerPhD ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

I am so beyond grateful for the amazing radiation physics team at Mayo Clinic Arizona that has helped train me through the residency the past two years. I'll miss everyone here but I'm excited for what the future holds!

If you're attending the AAPM Spring Clinical Meeting and want to learn about automating mechanical linac QA, come check out my talk tomorrow in the Early Career Investigator Symposium! Stop trying to figure out the 50% penumbra for field sizes and let a computer do it for you!

Besides the really interesting research @nethertonians does in automating palliative radiotherapy, I need him to teach me these graphic design skills! Every figure in his talk in Automated Treatment Planning session at #AAPMCOMP2020 was amazing!
