Open AccessGeneration of tissues outside the field of view (FOV) of radiation therapy simulation imaging based on machine learning and patient body outline (PBO)
It is not unusual to see some parts of tissues are excluded in the field of view of CT simulation images. A typical mitigation is to avoid beams entering the missing body parts at the cost of sub-optimal plann...

Open AccessRadiotherapy-Compatible Robotic System for Multi-Landmark Positioning in Head and Neck Cancer Treatments
The spine flexibility creates one of the most significant challenges to proper positioning in radiation therapy of head and neck cancers. Even though existing immobilization techniques can reduce the positioni...

Open AccessModeling scattered radiation from multi-leaf collimators (MLCs) to improve calculation accuracy of in-air output ratio
This study aims to model an extra-focal source for the scattered radiation from multi-leaf collimators (MLCs), namely an MLC scatter source, and to correct in-air output ratio (Sc) calculated using the convention...

Open AccessTo propose adding index of achievement (IOA) to IMRT QA process
In intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA), evaluation of QA result using a pass/non-pass strategy under an acceptance criterion often suffers from lack of information on how good t...

Open AccessPKCα-mediated phosphorylation of LSD1 is required for presynaptic plasticity and hippocampal learning and memory
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a histone demethylase that participates in transcriptional repression or activation. Recent studies reported that LSD1 is involved in learning and memory. Although LSD1 ...
