Amar Kishan, MD recently had his high-impact paper,
Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Guided vs Computed
Tomography–Guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for
Prostate Cancer: The MIRAGE Randomized Clinical Trial,
published in JAMA Oncology. The publication is a clinical
summary of the Phase-III randomized clinical trial
comparing MR guided RT verse CT guided RT. Two short
descriptions and highlight of this study can be found:

Minsong Cao, PhD, was recently one of the authors
(physician and physicist experts from USA, UK,
Australia, Netherlands and Canada) of the ICRU REPORT
97: MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy Using MRI-Linear
Accelerators in the Journal of the ICRU. The International
Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements
(ICRU), since its inception in 1925, has had as its principal
objective the development of internationally acceptable
recommendations and guidelines in the areas of radiation
therapy, protection and scientific research and clinical
applications of radiation.
Minsong Cao, PhD, has also been an author on the
following recent publications:
Mask R-CNN assisted 2.5D object detection pipeline of
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-positive metastatic pelvic lymph
node after radical prostatectomy from solely CT imaging,
published in Sci Rep.
PSMA PET/CT-based Atlas for Prostatic Bed Recurrence
after Radical Prostatectomy: Clinical Implications for
Salvage Radiation Therapy Contouring Guidelines,
published in the Journal Nuclear Medicine.
Qihui Lyu, PhD presented at the AAPM Global Research
and Scientific Innovation Committee’s (GRSIC) webinar
series, the AAPM South California Chapter midwinter
workshop, and the Stanford medical physics seminar
series.
Minsong Cao, PhD, was invited to lecture at the following
two meetings:
Radiosurgery Society (RSS) Annual Meeting, March
21, 2023: Target Localization for Stereotactic Ablative
Radiotherapy (SABR) of Cardiac Ventricular Tachycardia
(VT) Using Multimodality Imaging.

AAPM Spring Clinical Meeting, March 24, 2023:
Image Guidance and Margin Consideration for
Hypofractionated Treatment of Prostate Cancer.
Qihui Lyu, PhD, Lauren Smith, PhD, and Rachel
Wolff, CMD achieved top honors as the winners
of the 2023 ProKnow MRIdian Spine SBRT Plan
Challenge. ☐
