Take a took at how we are expanding global access to radiotherapy treatment planning!

The RPA is in clinical use in South Africa! Our first patient (with cervical cancer) was contoured/planned and approved today at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein. @MDAndersonNews @nethertonians

This is an example of 2D-2D image registration of a reference radiograph and an image taken from an image guidance system. The optimizer converges and the best registration is found.

People may say that they aren’t using their degree, but I think education is never a wasted effort, it’s part of your formation

Take a look at how machine learning QA performs on data from other clinics.

Interested in seeing how machine learning based quality assurances holds up when tested on data from other clinics? Here is a study on vertebral bodies we finished recently

Celebrating reaching our first goal!

@mdsquared44 We are so glad you spent time in Bloem with the clinical team getting things ready!

How can we ensure image reconstructions are trustworthy?
One way is to provide upper/lower bounds. We propose a principled way to attain reconstruction bounds based on statistical guarantees of downstream metrics. w/ @nethertonians @LaurenceECourt

OK hear me out: a Hallmark movie where a cold-hearted insurance executive comes home for the holidays to small-town America, needs an emergency appendectomy on Christmas Eve, falls in love with his surgeon, and vows to fix the prior auth system as part of becoming a better man
