技術獎助金

獎助金主題

我們支援一系列技術與臨床研究。我們的研究方向包含但不限於下列主題：

Resource-constrained areas
Clinical Evidence/Trials
Cost Effectiveness
Value-Based Care
Operational Studies (reducing infrastructure complexities, reducing clinician burden)

Treatment quality (clinically meaningful metrics), compare to historical
Outcome modeling (NCTP, TCP, etc.)
Automated target contouring
Clinical decision support -- offline or at- console
Deformable image registration visualization
Longitudinal response assessment
Novel approaches pushing the therapeutic envelope (shrinking margins, increasing tumor doses)
Functional adaptation (multi-modality imaging applications using adaptive tools)
Novel use of adaptive tools (eg. rapid plan & treat)

Increasing safety of systems and processes
Error detection and augmentation (treatment planning, data transfer, imaging, treatment delivery)
Decreasing planning and treatment variability
Uncertainty quantification
Assisted plan review
Novel algorithms, benefits and applications
AI agents
Reinforcement learning, continuous or incremental learning
Cognitive AI
Clinical benefits
Outcomes prediction

Use and value of new Varian technologies and solutions
Use of SBRT, especially for oligometastatic disease
Comparative and cost effectiveness studies (e.g., RT vs non-RT modalities)
Clinical studies in precision medicine, incorporating genomic and/or radiomic information into Varian systems
Role of radiotherapy as an immune system modulator
Evaluation of novel applications of radiation using linear accelerators for non- oncologic diseases (functional SRS, pain, OCD, etc)
