1. 1. EVALUATION OF RADIATION DOSES USING CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR AND SCOLIOSIS PROCEDURES

   University essay from

   Author : Louise Strandberg; [2021-04-06]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Cone beam CT; CT; EVAR; scoliosis; radiation dose; effective dose;

   Abstract : Purpose: The study includes the two areas, vascular surgery and orthopedics, and focuses on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and scoliosis procedures. EVAR procedures contribute to a high radiation dose to the patient and for scoliosis procedures, it is often young girls that are undergoing surgery. READ MORE

   Keywords : Rotational stage; Piezoelectric actuator; Integral resonance control; Adaptive control; External disturbance rejection; Harmonic cancellation;

   Abstract : The Equipment Controls and Electronics section (EN-STI-ECE) at CERN is developing a high precision piezo-actuated rotational stage for the UA9 crystal collimation project. This collaboration is investigating how tiny bent crystals can help to steer particle beams used in modern hadron colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). READ MORE

5. 4. Collimation technique for HPGe-detector gamma spectrometry in intense radiation fields

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Mattias Jönsson; [2010]
   Keywords : Radioekologi; Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to develop a rotation-based collimation system for large coaxial high-purity germanium detectors for use in intense radiation fields. A collimator was constructedformed as a cylinder surrounding the detector, with a 90° slit opening to the detector. READ MORE
