How much does CT image quality vary across the world? Our experience is that most scanners give images that are reasonable quality but grant reviewers often disagree. So: Calling our global friends! If you are interested in collaborating in a phantom-based study please message me

Looking forward to participating in this session on radiotherapy service development and sustainability. @MDAndersonNews #LGCW2024

Check this article out in @MDAndersonNews about how the RPA is making radiotherapy more accessible around the world using AI: mdanderson.org/cancerwise/rad… @LaurenceECourt

What a great honour to present the Radiation Planning Assistant at the Global Health Catalyst meeting in Washington DC. @MDAndersonNews

Celebrating reaching our first goal!

Today our development team celebrated our Radiation Planning Assistant milestone of actually planning a patient in South Africa. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey to support radiotherapy in low- and middle-income countries! @MDAndersonNews

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

Inspirational conversation tonight about the friendship between ⁦⁦@ChrissieEvert⁩, @martina and their #cancer journey. Thanks ⁦@RobinRoberts⁩ for facilitating the Living Legends event ⁦@MDAndersonNews⁩. #endcancer

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

Please have a look at our multi-institutional review of the Radiation Planning Assistant: 31 radiation oncologists, 16 institutions, 6 countries, 5 continents! @MDAndersonNews ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/GO…

Please check out our new article in Lancet Oncology - The Radiation Planning Assistant: addressing the global gap in radiotherapy services @MDAndersonNews thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

2. Achieved our clinical goals, with our autocontouring tools used in our own hospital for ~350 patients / month. 3. Achieved our training goals with 7 PhD graduates. 4. And achieved our research goal of >30 papers accepted in 2023. Can’t wait for 2024!

Thank you to our team and collaborators for their hard work (and fun!) in 2023! Our best year yet - together we: 1. Achieved our global health goals, with regulatory (FDA) and legal hurdles passed to start using the Radiation Planning Assistant clinically….. @MDAndersonNews

of published multi-modality approaches. Huge thanks (and congrats!) to my co-authors @CarlosMedPhys @nguycm7 @nethertonians @StephenSkett @TeresaG67189791 @JinzhongYangPhD @AggarwalOnc @LaurenceECourt and others! @MDA_UTHGrad @MDAndersonNews (2/2)

🚨My favorite experiment of my PhD is published! We collaborated with St. Jude to test the performance of our CSI autocontouring and planning tools on an external dataset. We involved 3 pedi rad oncs (3 institutions & 2 countries). Check it out! ⁦ frontiersin.org/journals/oncol…

shoutout to 🌟 @MDA_UTHGrad #medphys grad student @sgi386 on his latest @aapmHQ publication using #AI to automatically define RT fields aapm.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100…

Today we announce with excitement that @MDAndersonNews' world class, comprehensive cancer care is coming to Austin. We are bringing our research-driven patient care, our compassion and empathy, our nation-leading patient experience, and the largest cancer clinical trials program in the world. This will be a cancer center that will provide hope and cures to Central Texas and beyond. #EndCancer tinyurl.com/2p9bnc7k @UTSystem

Excited to share that yesterday I successfully defended my PhD in medical physics! I’m so grateful to our amazing team in the @LaurenceECourt lab for the friendship and mentorship over the past 4 years! Thrilled to be starting the next adventure at @MGHCancerCenter this spring!

What is “clinically acceptable”? A difficult question when developing and testing automatic contouring and planning tools. Please see our review, a collaboration of the Court, @kkbGoBlue and @ca_chung labs. Out today! @MDAndersonNews mdpi.com/2075-4418/13/4…
