Elimination of motion, pulsatile flow and cross-talk artifacts using blade sequences in lumbar spine MR imaging
(2013)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of T2 turbo spin echo (TSE) axial and sagittal BLADE sequences in reducing or even eliminating motion, pulsatile flow and cross-talk artifacts in lumbar spine MRI ...
Fast spectroscopic multiple analysis (FASMA) for brain tumor classification: a clinical decision support system utilizing multi-parametric 3T MR data
(2015)
A clinical decision support system (CDSS) for brain tumor classification can be used to assist in the diagnosis and grading of brain tumors. A Fast Spectroscopic Multiple Analysis (FASMA) system that uses combinations of ...
Patient-specific internal radionuclide dosimetry
(2010)
The development of patient-specific treatment planning systems is of outmost importance in the development of radionuclide dosimetry, taking into account that quantitative three-dimensional nuclear medical imaging can be ...
A new role of PET/CT for target delineation for radiotherapy treatment planning for head and neck carcinomas
(2012)
Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose- positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG PET) in head and neck cancer patients is useful for staging, identification of macroscopic disease, detection of invaded lymph nodes and distant ...
A modification of flattening filter free linac for IMRT
(2011)
Purpose: This study investigates the benefits of a modified flattening filter free (FFF) linac over the standard (STD) linac equipped with the flattening filter. Energy and angular spread of the electron beam of the FFF ...
Beam quality and dose perturbation of 6 MV flattening-filter-free linac
(2014)
The aim of this study is twofold: (a) determination of the spectral differences for flattening-filter-free (FFF) versus standard (STD) linac under various clinical conditions, (b) based on an extensive list of clinically ...
Impact of beam quality on megavoltage radiotherapy treatment techniques utilizing gold nanoparticles for dose enhancement
(2013)
This study determines the optimal clinical scenarios for gold nanoparticle dose enhancement as a function of irradiation conditions and potential biological targets using megavoltage x-ray beams. Four hundred and eighty ...
Comparison of BLADE and conventional T2-TSE sequences for the sagittal visualization of the cervical spinal cord in multiple sclerosis patients - A case report
(2013)
The purpose of this study is to report the significant differences found in the identification of lesions in cervical spinal cord of two patients with multiple sclerosis when using the BLADE T2-TSE and BLADE T2-TIRM sequences ...
