Sub-regional analysis of the parotid glands: model development for predicting late xerostomia with radiomics features in head and neck cancer patients Open
Our results indicate that variations of radiomics features calculated on sub-regions of the parotid glands can lead to earlier and improved prediction of xerostomia in HNC patients.

Complex ground-state and excitation energies in coupled-cluster theory Open
Since in coupled-cluster (CC) theory ground-state and excitation energies are eigenvalues of a non-Hermitian matrix, these energies can in principle take on complex values. In this paper we discuss the appearance of complex energy values i…

An evaluation of the mid-ventilation method for the planning of stereotactic lung plans Open
Our results confirm that a mid-V approach can be used to reduce the PTV size, with no loss of tumour coverage. We propose the use of a simplified margin formula equal to the margin ignoring breathing plus 0.15 of the range of motion.
