Vanier Scholar and #SchulichMedDent student Edward Wang's research is using AI to improve treatment planning for a special type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy, which can target multiple spots in the lungs.

@IJROBP @SarahMattonen @pencilla @drdavidpalma @MattonenLab In our visual abstract, I walk through a demo of using the dose prediction model in a @3DSlicerApp extension.

Very excited to share our recent paper in @IJROBP!

We show that AI can be used to make fast and accurate dose predictions in multi-lesion lung SABR. Reach out if you're interested in trying the model!

@5_utr @IJROBP @SarahMattonen @pencilla @MattonenLab Ah I misunderstood your question. AI allows us to make more accurate predictions in the setting of multiple lesions, which are more complex plans. In our paper, we tested an exponential model as well, but found the AI model is better.

[Edward Wang @edwardwang_]

@5_utr @IJROBP @SarahMattonen @pencilla @MattonenLab Good question! AI allows us to estimate the dose directly from the planning CT and contours, without requiring a full treatment plan. This would allow ROs to quickly see which prescriptions are viable.

@crispinhiley @drdavidpalma @pencilla We are working on cleaning up our GitHub repo and adding training instructions, but if interested we can share our research version!

[Jaryd Christie @JarydChristie]

Today I had the opportunity of a lifetime to share the stage with Nobel Laureates to discuss the topic of preserving trust in AI at @lindaunobel 😄

I’m honoured to have be selected to share my perspectives with Laureates David Gross, Donna Strickland, and Brian Schmidt!

#LINO24

[Sherman Lin @PathShermanoma]

Thrilled to share our paper on the largest international study on mitotic figures with 85 global pathologists! Grateful to all of our co-authors for your belief and expertise in the study. Thank you for making this work possible! 😁

[Peter Zeng @peteryufanzeng]

I will be defending my #PhD thesis in 2 weeks. Please DM me for Zoom link if interested.

[Tricia Chinnery @TriciaChinnery]

So excited to join the @UCSDRadMed team in July! I'm going to be a medical physicist! 🩷 Feeling extremely grateful for the community of people who helped get me to this point.

[Jaryd Christie @JarydChristie]

Excited to begin this new chapter with the radiation oncology team at @HenryFordHealth!! I’m so grateful for all the support from my family, friends, and mentors for helping me to reach this stage 😄

[Jaryd Christie @JarydChristie]

I am thrilled and incredibly honoured to have been selected by @lindaunobel to attend the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting for Physics #LINO24 🎉.

Looking forward to interacting with so many amazing scientists!! A big thank you to my supervisor @SarahMattonen and many mentors.

[Tricia Chinnery @TriciaChinnery]

In honour of #WorldCancerDay on February 4th, London RIOT spoke to patients about the impact they have and how important their data is for the success of our research!

[Jaryd Christie @JarydChristie]

Thank you to the donors and @SRC_CRS for supporting our research in developing AI tools for improving the treatment outcomes of lung cancer patients 🫁 @MattonenLab ! Thank you to my amazing supervisor @SarahMattonen !

[Jaryd Christie @JarydChristie]

I’m thrilled to have been invited to deliver the keynote presentation at the Barbados Canada Foundation Scholarship Presentation Ceremony!

It was a joy to discuss medical physics and my academic journey. Congratulations to this year’s awardees!
