Design and testing of optimal personal protective equipment for high energy radiation on earth and beyond
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)This study incorporates an experimental and an associated modeling investigation of human protective shielding methodologies for two extreme environments: first responders or military personnel in the case of nuclear or ... -
Implementation of an in vivo radiochromic film QA procedure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Advance treatment techniques, such as IMRT and dynamic conformal arc delivery, are novel radiation treatment procedures at the forefront of accurate ... -
Measurements of adhesion force between single particles and clusters interacting with some VHTR structural steels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The adhesion force and work of adhesion between aerosols (graphite and silver) generated in very high temperature reactors (VHTRs) and interacting with structural materials are presented. The method involves using Atomic ... -
Oxidation behavior of very high temperature reactor (VHTR) candidate materials: 316l stainless steel, Alloy 617, and Incoloy-800H
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)High temperature nuclear reactors require alloys to perform well at temperatures around 1000 to 1400 K. The oxidation behavior of three high temperature reactor candidate materials, 316 L stainless steel, alloy 617, and ... -
Oxidation of nuclear- and matrix-grade graphite for VHTR air ingress accident scenarios
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)One of the most severe accidents anticipated for the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is an air ingress accident caused by a pipe break, where the reactor vessel and core become fully immersed in air as the core ... -
Sensitivity of plan re-optimizaton to errors in deformable image registration in online adaptive image-guided radiation therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Online adaptive image-guided radiation therapy has been a longstanding topic of interest in the field of radiation oncology due to its unique ability ... -

Task-based image quality assessment in radiation therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Medical imaging is an integral part of radiation therapy, therefore image quality assessment (IQA) is important for improving patient treatments. Current IQA methods for radiation therapy do not directly consider the task ...
