    Impact of breast tissue expanders in the post-mastectomy radiation treatment (PMRT) clinical validation and treatment workflow.
    Sientra Inc CA-0160869Jul 1, 2022 - Jul 30, 2023
    Description: Additional validation and testing on novel breast tissue expanders before the FDA Clearance AlloX2 Pro™
    Cone Beam CT Image Analysis to Predict Head and Neck Radiotherapy Toxicities for Adaptive Radiotherapy
    UCSF RAP CA-0213350Jul 1, 2021 - Jun 30, 2023
    Role: PI
    Description: To develop a user-friendly CBCT-based rapid and personalized assessment of anatomy changes during HNRT. This frequent assessment could alert physicians to make changes and adapt the radiation plan earlier during treatment, before acute toxicities occur.
    Impact of breast tissue expanders in the post-mastectomy radiation treatment (PMRT) clinical validation and treatment workflow
    Sientra Inc CA-01608692Jun 1, 2021 - Jul 30, 2022
    Role: PI
    Description: The goal of the study is to provide guidance on the design of novel breast metal port expanders, AlloX2 Pro™, and to compare it with AlloX2 for patients receiving Post-mastectomy breast irradiation.
