A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

Risk analysis of the Unity 1.5T MR‐Linac adapt‐to‐shape workflow
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose The adapt‐to‐shape (ATS) workflow on the Unity MR‐Linac (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) allows for full replanning including recontouring and reoptimization5. Additional complexity to this workflow is added when the adaptation involves the use of MIM Maestro (MIM Software, Cleveland, OH) software in conjunction with ...

Calculating Method of Moments Uniform Bin Width Histograms [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 A clear articulation of Method of Moments (MOM) Histograms is instructive and has waited 121 years since 1895. Also of interest are enabling uniform bin width (UBW) shape level sets. Mean-variance MOM uniform bin width frequency and density histograms are not unique, however ranking them by histogram skewness compared to data skewness helps.

Using deep learning generated CBCT contours for online dose assessment of prostate SABR treatments
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra‐hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter‐fraction variability, inconsistent patient adherence still results in OAR variability.

A Learning Framework for Self-Tuning Histograms [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating self-tuning histograms using query workloads. To this end, we propose a general learning theoretic formulation. Specifically, we use query feedback from a workload as training data to estimate a histogram with a small memory footprint that minimizes the expected error on future queries.

Fast Integral Histogram Computations on GPU for Real-Time Video Analytics [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In many Multimedia content analytics frameworks feature likelihood maps represented as histograms play a critical role in the overall algorithm. Integral histograms provide an efficient computational framework for extracting multi-scale histogram-based regional descriptors in constant time which are considered as the principle building blocks of many ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Music interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects on hemodynamic parameters, pain, and anxiety in various medical settings. However, music interventions in the setting of acute stroke have not been studied. The objective of this trial was to perform a pilot feasibility study of music interventions in the setting of acute
