Professor was quoted in an article profiling his groundbreaking work.
Rao P. Gullapalli, PhD, professor, Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, was the last author of "The Feasibility of Integrating Resting-State fMRI Networks into Radiotherapy Treatment Planning" published in the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences.

Gullapalli was quoted in the article profiling this groundbreaking work in “Resting-state fMRI Fine Tunes Brain Radiotherapy Plans” by Tami Freeman that was published in Physics World on Jan. 8, 2019.
As Freeman stated in the article, "Radiation therapy is commonly employed as a primary or adjunct treatment for brain tumors. However, neurocognitive impairment after brain radiotherapy is a known problem that restricts its use. The ability to limit dose to brain regions associated with cognitive performance may help minimize treatment-related loss of cognitive functioning, ultimately improving patients’ long-term outcomes and quality-of-life."
