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. ... -
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 ...
