Dr. Xiang talked on “Theranostics with Radiation-induced Ultrasound Emission” at UC Riverside hosted by Dr. Bahman Anvari on 4/7/2021. This talk covered three primary research areas: X-ray induced acoustic computed tomography for monitoring radiation therapy, electroacoustic tomography guided IRE ablation, and photoacoustic image guided laser therapy. Prospects and challenges for the clinical implementation of these techniques has been discussed.

Dr. Xiang was invited to speak at Dartmouth Imaging Science Seminar Series 2021
Dr. Xiang talked on “Hearing the Invisible Radiation during Cancer Treatment ” at Dartmouth College hosted by Dr. Brian Pogue on 1/21/2021. This talk covered three primary research areas: ionizing radiation dosimetry (photon &. proton), electric field map, and laser dosimetry. Prospects and challenges for the clinical implementation of these techniques has been discussed. The successful development of these technologies will expand the current clinical paradigm towards precision medicine. The seminar was held on Zoom: https://dartmouth.zoom.us/j/99116334589?pwd=SXVXemliU0pGazFiWk5tcXBsbjlnUT09

A new paper is out: making radiation therapy more precise
Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer. Radiation dosimetry is a crucial process in radiation therapy to ensure that the correct dose is accurately delivered to the desired location. However, in such a widely used clinical intervention, the delivered radiation dose can only be planned and/or verified via simulation with phantoms, and an in vivo and in-line verification of the delivered dose is still absent in the clinic.
We have proposed X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT), as a promising imaging modality to monitor the position of the radiation beam and the deposited dose during external beam radiotherapy delivery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a transperineal ultrasound transducer array for XACT imaging to guide the prostate radiotherapy. Results of this study will greatly enhance the potential of XACT imaging for real time in vivo dosimetry during radiotherapy.
