In preclinical radiation research, it is challenging to localize soft tissue targets based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance. As a more effective method to localize soft tissue targets, we developed an online bioluminescence tomography (BLT) system for small-animal radiation research platform (SARRP). We demonstrated BLT-guided radiation therapy and validated targeting accuracy based on a newly developed reconstruction algorithm.

Precise proton irradiation of the cardiac apex using the SARRP
In this video of the Spotlight series, Dr. Verginadis shares about his experience using the SARRP, specifically with proton irradiation of the cardiac apex. Dr. Verginadis works with the SARRP at the UPenn Department of Radiation Oncology, studying a variety of topics...
