Simulating Cherenkov radiation generated by radiotherapy beams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Cherenkov radiation has had various applications in high-energy physics since its discovery, and this research explores two applications of Cherenkov radiation relating to its presence in media under irradiation by medical ...
3D imaging for brachytherapy patient and mold applicator positioning verification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
We developed a stereo vision method for 3D imaging of HDR brachytherapy skin cancer applicator positioning and tracking with respect to patients' anatomical features. The setup consists of two high-resolution scientific ...
Scintillating fiber arrays for in-vivo real-time patient quality assurance for medical linear accelerators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The purpose of this research is to design real-time, in-vivo, transmission scintillating fiber detectors capable of identifying errors in external beam radiation therapy when a fraction of a treatment has been delivered. ...
