Detecting and Evaluating Therapy Induced Changes In Radiomics Features Measured From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer to Predict Patient Outcomes
… lung cancers (NSCLC) change during treatment and if those changes are prognostic for patient outcomes or dependent on treatment modality. Radiomics features are quantitative metrics designed to evaluate tumor heterogeneity from routine medical imaging. Features that are prognostic for patient …

Improving Quantitative Treatment Response Monitoring With Deformable Image Registration
… often confounded by variations in patient setup and potential treatment induced gross anatomic changes. These variations make true response monitoring for the same anatomic volume a challenge, not only for tumors, but also for normal organs-at-risk (OAR). The central hypothesis of this study is …
