A Dose Monitoring Program for Computed Radiography
(2012)Recently, there has been a lot of effort placed on monitoring patient dose from medical procedures. The majority of people's concern has been focused on computed tomography because of the higher amounts of patient dose associated ... -
An Evaluation and Comparison of Beam Characteristics, Stray Radiation Room Surveys, Organ Dose, and Image Quality of Multiple Intra-Operative Imaging Devices for Orthopedic Lumbar Spinal Surgery
(2015)Purpose:The overall purpose of this study was a comparison of radiation exposure for patients and staff during intra-operative imaging for orthopedic lumbar spine surgery. In order to achieve this, we: (1) Characterized ... -
Clinically approved combination immunotherapy: Current status, limitations, and future perspective.
(Current research in immunology, 2022-01)Immune-checkpoint inhibitor-based combination immunotherapy has become a first-line treatment for several major types of cancer including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), renal cell carcinoma, lung cancer, cervical cancer, ... -
Implementation of Acuros XB Dose Calculation in to Clinical Radiation Therapy Workflows
(2022)Introduction: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a common treatment techniquethat can be used to treat tumors for multiple cancer sites. Density heterogeneity in the target volume and beam path combined with small ... -
Investigation and Development of a Fully 3D Tilt Capable Hybrid SPECT - CT System for Dedicated Breast Imaging
(2015)X-ray mammography has been the gold standard for breast imaging for decades, despite the significant limitations posed by the two dimensional (2D) image acquisitions. Difficulty in diagnosing lesions close to the chest wall ... -
Monte Carlo Simulation of Effective Dose in Fluoroscopy and Computed Tomography Procedures
(2018)The overarching goal of this project was to investigate organ dose assessment and variability using Monte Carlo methods to study two areas of medical imaging – fluoroscopy and computed tomography. Namely, these studies were ...
