Congratulations, Xiyao!

Xiyao successfully defended his thesis entitled, “A Quality Assurance Pipeline for Deep Learning Segmentation Models for Radiotherapy Applications” in Spring 2023. He is now a Research Scientist at Meta.

Welcome new summer education program students

We’re very excited to have two summer education program students join the lab for the summer. Jasmine Luo is an undergraduate BME major at Wash U, and David Anand is an undergraduate physics major at Virginia Tech. Welcome Jasmine and David! Interested in applying for 2020? See the summer undergraduate program page.

CORAL researchers top 3 in AAPM SPARE Challenge

Computed tomography reconstructions for three competing methods.

Researchers from CORAL, Dr. Matt Riblett and Dr. Geoff Hugo, participated in the Sparse-view Reconstruction Challenge for Four-dimensional Cone-beam CT (SPARE) organized by researchers at the University of Sydney, Australia. Results were presented at the recent American Association of Physicists in Medicine annual meeting, and the CORAL work, part of Matt’s Ph.D. dissertation, placed in the […]

Congratulations, Matt!

Congratulations to Nicky Mahon, who successfully defended her dissertation, “Radiomics for Predicting Tumor Response and Contour Delineation Uncertainty” today at VCU. Once she graduates, Nicky will be staying on at VCU in a postdoctoral scholar role, working with Dr. Elisabeth Weiss.

New Paper

We’ve recently published a new paper “CALIPER: A deformable image registration algorithm for large geometric changes during radiotherapy for locally advanced non‐small cell lung cancer” in Medical Physics, on a new deformable image registration algorithm developed in our lab, tailored for registering lung CT images with large anatomical changes. The first author is Chris Guy, who […]
