Lehigh, UCalgary, and UPenn researchers aim to optimize Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy Treatment
Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT), compared to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), along with its greatly extended capacity to deliver highly conformal 3D dose to the target tumor represents a number of unique challenges for treatment planning optimization.
Bringing high-performance computing and machine learning closer to the action
It will likely be the first of its kind. In the world.
“No one else, to our knowledge, has tried to put such a high-speed computing cluster so close to the equipment in their labs,” says Yaling Liu, a professor of bioengineering and mechanical engineering and mechanics in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. “We believe the facility we’re proposing will have a huge impact on our campus by enabling big-data analysis and new science.”
