<p><bold>Purpose:<bold> (1) To benchmark the accuracy of effective dose equivalent (EDE) of the single- and double-badge methods (NRC 2002-06) using the commercially available radiation monitors in clinical settings, (2) ...

<p>Purpose: Tumor size reduction has been observed for patients underwent lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Adaptive planning has the potential to reduce normal tissue toxicity and/or escalate dose to target ...

<p>The goal of this study was to characterize the image quality of a dedicated, quasi-monochromatic x-ray spectrum, cone beam breast imaging system under scatter corrected and non-scatter corrected conditions for a variety ...

<p><bold>Rationale and Objectives:</bold> Mammography is known to be one of the most difficult radiographic exams to interpret. Mammography has important limitations including superposition of normal tissue that can obscure ...

<p>The use of positron emission tomography (PET) in radiation therapy has continued to grow, especially since the development of combined computed tomography (CT) and PET imaging system in the early 1990s. Today, the biggest ...

<p>There are three main x-ray based modalities for imaging the thorax: radiography, tomosynthesis, and computed tomography (CT). CT perhaps provides the highest level of feature resolution but at notably higher radiation ...

<p>With continuing advances in medical imaging technologies, there is an increased demand to extract quantitative information from images. This has been particularly vital in the effort to increase the efficacy and accuracy ...

<p>Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive sensory-motor disorder and is one of the most costly and debilitating chronic pediatric conditions, affecting 2-3 out of 1000 children in the United States. To better understand ...

<p>Traditionally, the goal of nanoparticle-based chemotherapy has been to decrease normal tissue toxicity by improving drug specificity to tumor. Relying on the EPR effect (Enhanced Permeability and Retention), a host of ...

<p>Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is an ever increasing health risk in the United States. The most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, AF is associated with increased mortality and ischemic cerebrovascular events. Managing AF ...
