A practical method of I-131 thyroid cancer therapy dose optimization using estimated effective renal clearance.
(SAGE Open Med Case Rep, 2017)In thyroid cancer patients with renal impairment or other complicating factors, it is important to maximize I-131 therapy efficacy while minimizing bone marrow and lung damage. We developed a web-based calculator based on ... -
Investigation of High Resolution 3D Rodent-morphic Dosimetry, and Cost-Effective Optical-CT using Fresnel Lenses
(2014)Micro-irradiators enable exploration of the efficacy of novel radiation treatment approaches by providing the capability to reproduce realistic treatment delivery in small animal models. An approach of current topical interest ... -
Investigation of Presage 3D Dosimetry as a Method of Clinically Intuitive Quality Assurance and Comparison to a Semi-3D Delta4 System
(2015)The need for clinically intuitive metrics for patient-specific quality assurance in radiation therapy has been well-documented (Zhen, Nelms et al. 2011). A novel transform method has shown to be effective at converting ... -
Investigations into the Feasibility of Optical-CT 3D Dosimetry with Minimal Use of Refractively Matched Fluids
(2014)Purpose: Optical-CT imaging with radiochromic dosimeters is a powerful method of evaluating 3D dose distributions at high resolution and sensitivity. Current optical-CT systems require large quantities of refractively ... -
Organ doses from CT localizer radiographs: Development, validation, and application of a Monte Carlo estimation technique
(MEDICAL PHYSICS, 2019-11-01) -
Organ Localization: Moving Toward Patient Specific Prospective Organ Dosimetry for CT
(2012)<bold>Purpose:</bold> Radiation doses from computed tomography (CT) examinations have come under public and governmental scrutiny because of several recent misadministrations of radiation across the country. Current CT ... -
Synthesis, Characterization, and Spectroscopy of Lanthanide-Doped Inorganic Nanocrystals; Radiant Flux and Absolute Quantum Yield Measurements of Upconversion Nanocrystals, and Fabrication of a Fiber-Optic Radiation Detector Utilizing Synthetically Optimized, Linearly Responsive Nanoscintillators
(2013)The ability to interrogate structure-function photophysical properties on lanthanide-doped nanoscale materials will define their utility in next-generation applications and devices that capitalize on their size, light-conversion ... -
The development, characterization, and clinical investigation of a novel reusable radiochromic sheet for 2D dose measurement
(2019)Purpose: Radiochromic film remains a useful and versatile clinical dosimetry tool. While simple to use, current film options are single use, with no forms of reusable film available commercially. Here we introduce a novel ... -
Validation of the dosimetry for a Lay-down Total Skin Irradiation techniques by Monte Carlo Simulation
(2019)Total skin irradiation (TSI) with electron beam has been very effective for patient with Mycosis fungoides. We recently developed and implemented a technique of laying down position for patients who are too frail for the ...
