A Windows GUI application for real-time image guidance during motion-managed proton beam therapy

Respiratory motion-management is crucial for maintaining robustness of the delivered dose in radiotherapy. This is particularly relevant for spot-scanned proton therapy, where motion-induced dosimetric “interplay” effects can severely perturb the …

Image-guidance Software Development

To augment the proton treatment console at Mayo Clinic Rochester with the capability of fluoroscopy-based motion verification and monitoring, I developed computer vision application (Code name: Wukong), based on high-speed acquisition and real-time processing of flat-panel detector (FPD) data streams. Built as a fully DICOM-aware utility, this .NET/C# Windows desktop application is integrated into treatment planning workflow with Varian Eclipse Scripting API. It also provides an optional ability to store live-captured fluoroscopic frames on a HIPAA-compliant scalable storage cloud.
