1. 1. Practical implementation and exploration of dual energy computed tomography methods for Hounsfield units to stopping power ratio conversion

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Medicinsk strålningsvetenskap

   Author : David Kennbäck; [2018]
   Keywords : computed tomography; CT; dual energy; DECT; dual energy computed tomography; dual energy CT; HU; SPR; Skandion; Skandionkliniken; Hounsfield; Hounsfield unit; Stopping power ratio;

   Abstract : The purpose of this project was to explore the performance of methods for estimating stopping power ratio (SPR) from Hounsfield units (HU) using dual energy CT scans, rather than the standard single energy CT scans, with the aim of finding a method which could outperform the current single energy stoichiometric method. Such a method could reduce the margin currently added to the target volume during treatment which is defined as 3. READ MORE

3. 2. Development and validation of a scanned proton beam model for dose distribution verification using Monte Carlo

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

   Author : Erik Almhagen; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background and purpose: Although proton therapy is becoming increasingly common as a radiotherapy modality, facilities offering proton therapy are still scarce in comparison to photon therapy. Sweden's new proton therapy facility, Skandionkliniken, is scheduled to being operation during August 2015, employing the pencil beam scanning technique. READ MORE
