Multi-Material 3D Printing In Brachytherapy: Prototyping Teaching Tools
(2020)The utilization of brachytherapy practice in clinics has been declining over the years. The decline has been linked to a variety of factors including a lack of training opportunities. To improve the quality of intracavitary ... -
Novel Technologies for Neutrino and Dark MatterDetection
(2022)Neutrinos have long been considered a powerful tool for exploring physics beyond the standard model, and have been recognized as having applications in nuclear reactor monitoring and non-proliferation efforts. In particular, ... -
Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence: Studies on 240Pu for Nuclear Security and Light Nuclei for Medical Diagnostics Applications
(2018)Nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) is a highly sensitive technique for measuring the energies and strengths of dipole excitations in nuclei. For incident photon energies below the particle separation threshold, excited ... -
On-board Image Augmentation Using Prior Image and Deep Learning for Image-guided Radiation Therapy
(2019)Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has been widely used in image-guided radiation therapy for target localization. 3D CBCT has been developed for localizing static targets, while 4D CBCT has been developed for localizing ... -
Photodisintegrationof 3H and Supporting Experiments
(2022)This experiment consisted of the planning of the photodisintegration of the triton at the High Intesity γ-ray Source and supporting experiments. The primary supporting experiment was photofission of 18O. The 18O photofission ... -
Radiation Dose to the Lens of the Eye from Computed Tomography Scans of the Head
(2016)While it is well known that exposure to radiation can result in cataract formation, questions still remain about the presence of a dose threshold in radiation cataractogenesis. Since the exposure history from diagnostic ... -
Studies of the Electron Neutrino Charged-current Interaction on $^{127}$I
(2022)An inclusive measurement of the cross section of the electron neutrino charged-current interaction on $^{127}$I can probe the quenching of g$_{A}$, the axial-vector coupling constant, which affects the rate of neutrinoless ... -
The Low-Energy Charged-Current Electron Neutrino Cross Section on Argon at the Spallation Neutron Source
(2023)When a massive star reaches the end of its life, it releases 99\% of its energy in the form of neutrinos during a process known as a core-collapse supernova burst. The neutrinos are released in a prompt burst lasting several ... -
Transverse Asymmetry in Nucleon Deuteron Scattering in Pionless Effective Field Theory
(2017)In this dissertation we applied the pionless effective field theory (EFTπ{ ) to low energy neu- tron deuteron elastic scattering process. We calculated some of the polarization observables in neutron deuteron scattering ... -
Validating the Use of Boron Nanoparticles to Quantify Tumor Oxygen Tension in Irradiated Breast Tumors
(2019)Although hypoxia in tumors has long been identified as a key contributor to poor patient outcome, clinical solutions to lessen its deleterious effects have not been forthcoming. One reason is that there have been few means ... -
Validation of Isodose Curves for AIRO Mobile CT, P-32 Pure-Beta and I-131 Mixed Beta/Gamma Detection Utilizing Nano-Fiber Optic Detector
(2019)Project 1: Validation of Isodose Curves for AIRO Mobile CT Purpose: Validate isodose curves provided by the manufacturer for the Airo Mobile CT to determine if, indeed, it is safe for those who are operating the machine. ... -
X-ray Diffraction Spectral Imaging for Breast Cancer Assessment
(2017)Breast cancer surgical treatment options prove effective at treating breast cancer and reducing breast cancer death rates, prompting women to elect to surgically excise the tumor via a lumpectomy procedure. Despite women ...
