Item Image Fusion Involving Real-Time Transabdominal or Endoscopic Ultrasound for Gastrointestinal Malignancies: Review of Current and Future Applications(MDPI, 2022-12-19) Singh, Ben S.; Cazacu, Irina M.; Deza, Carlos A.; Rigaud, Bastien S.; Saftoiu, Adrian; Gruionu, Gabriel; Guionu, Lucian; Brock, Kristy K.; Koay, Eugene J.; Herman, Joseph M.; Bhutani, Manoop S.; Medicine, School of MedicineImage fusion of CT, MRI, and PET with endoscopic ultrasound and transabdominal ultrasound can be promising for GI malignancies as it has the potential to allow for a more precise lesion characterization with higher accuracy in tumor detection, staging, and interventional/image guidance. We conducted a literature review to identify the current possibilities of real-time image fusion involving US with a focus on clinical applications in the management of GI malignancies. Liver applications have been the most extensively investigated, either in experimental or commercially available systems. Real-time US fusion imaging of the liver is gaining more acceptance as it enables further diagnosis and interventional therapy of focal liver lesions that are difficult to visualize using conventional B-mode ultrasound. Clinical studies on EUS guided image fusion, to date, are limited. EUS-CT image fusion allowed for easier navigation and profiling of the target tumor and/or surrounding anatomical structure. Image fusion techniques encompassing multiple imaging modalities appear to be feasible and have been observed to increase visualization accuracy during interventional and diagnostic applications.Item Responses to the 2017 ‘1 Million Gray Question’: ASTRO membership’s opinions on the most important research question facing radiation oncology(Elsevier, 2018-10) Dominello, Michael M.; Keen, Judith C.; Beck, Tyler F.; Bayouth, John; Knisely, Jonathan; Carlson, David J.; Mendonca, Marc S.; Mian, Omar; Brock, Kristy K.; Anscher, Mitchell; Hugo, Geoffrey; Moros, Eduardo G.; Singh, Anurag K.; Yu, James B.; Radiation Oncology, School of MedicineAt the American Society for Radiation Oncology's (ASTRO's) 2017 annual meeting in San Diego, CA, attendees were asked, “What is the most important research question that needs to be answered in the next 3 to 5 years?” This request was meant to start a dialogue, promote thoughtful discussion within our professional community, and help inform topics for ASTRO workshops and focus meetings. Nearly 100 people responded while in attendance at the meeting, with questions that ranged from “How can we remove barriers so low- and middle-income countries can have radiation oncology facilities?” to “What is the exact role of radiation in stage IV disease in combination with immunotherapy or targeted agents to combat resistance development?” to “How can personalized care be better integrated into the oncology and radiation oncology clinical space?”Item Responses to the 2018 and 2019 “One Big Discovery” Question: ASTRO Membership’s Opinions on the Most Important Research Question Facing Radiation Oncology…Where Are We Headed?(Elsevier, 2020) Dominello, Michael M.; Sanders, Tim; Anscher, Mitchell; Bayouth, John; Brock, Kristy K.; Carlson, David J.; Hugo, Geoffrey; Joseph, Sabrina; Knisely, Jonathan; Mendonca, Marc S.; Mian, Omar Y.; Moros, Eduardo G.; Singh, Anurag K.; Yu, James B.; Radiation Oncology, School of Medicine
