Image Guided Intervention Lab
Lei Xing
This laboratory is focused on image instrumentation, image reconstruction, image processing, radiation therapy treatment planning, and image guided intervention. We are developing novel solutions to advance various clinical imaging modalities (such as CT, cone beam CT (CBCT), MRI, and PET), and investigating strategies for image guided therapeutics and treatment response assessment. We are working on 4D CT/CBCT/PET image reconstruction methods, scatter and dose reduction techniques in CBCT, integration of CBCT image devices with linear accelerators, image registration (particularly, deformable image registration) and image segmentation. We are embarking a systematic research on image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), which includes patient simulation, dose optimization and treatment planning, real-time monitoring of tumor motion during dose delivery, and adaptive replanning. We are also working on biological image guided radiation therapy (BIGRT) to establish biologically--as opposed to anatomically--conformal radiation therapy. In BIGRT, the radiation dose is customized according to the biological image findings.
