1. 21. Evaluation of the iterative kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography reconstruction method for the Varian TrueBeam system

   University essay from

   Author : Tamana Haidari; [2022-03-18]
   Keywords : Medical physics; FDK algorithm; iterative algorithm; CBCT; image quality;

   Abstract : Introduction: Radiotherapy is used to treat patients with various types of cancer, where linear accelerators produce the radiation beam used for the treatment. Before each treatment fraction, the patient needs to be correctly positioned according to the treatment plan. READ MORE

3. 22. Effects of reconstruction parameters on the image quality and quantification of PET images from PET/MRI and PET/CT systems

   University essay from

   Author : Ali Amena Hussain; [2022-03-09]
   Keywords : Medical physics; PET CT; PET MRI; OSEM; BPL; NEMA IQ; positron emission tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; computed tomography; ordered Subset Expectation Maximization; The Bayesian Penalized Likelihood;

   Abstract : Aim: To study how reconstruction parameters affect the positron emission tomography (PET) image quality and quantitative results for the different lesion to background radioactivity ratios in three different PET systems. Introduction: Multimodality imaging that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) with a PET system can produce medical images containing both functional and anatomical information.

4. 23. osimetric impact of system spe cific geometric distortion on head and neck treatment plans in MRI only based radiation therapy

   University essay from

   Author : Jesper Brovall; [2022-01-13]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Dosimetry; MRI; Radiation therapy;

   Abstract : Background/ purpose: Because of the superior soft tissue contrast, in comparison with computed tomography (CT) data, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of high interest to include in a larger extent in the ra diation therapy (RT) process. In an MRI only workflow, the CT scan is excluded and a synthetic CT is used for treatment plan ning. READ MORE

5. 24. Feasibility of single time point dosimetry during 177Lu-PSMA-617 treatments of prostate cancer

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Elias Nilsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Introduction: Standard dosimetry methods for radionuclide therapies re- quire imaging at multiple time points post injection. An alternative method has been presented in the literature that uses previously acquired pharma- cokinetic data to create so-called dose factors. READ MORE

6. 25. Imaging of the MTP joint: Developing an imaging protocol optimised for damage detection and 3D modelling

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Johanna Jacobsson; [2022]
   Keywords : computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; cone beam computedtomography; cartilage; osteochondral lesions; metatarsal phalangeal joint; datortomografi; magnetisk resonanstomografi; kon-datortomografi; brosk; kondrala skador; metatarsalphalangen-leden;

   Abstract : Walking without pain in the toe has a significant impact on a person’s well-being. Human mobility will be impaired in osteoarthritis of the big toe, and pain will occur during walking. By replacing the cartilage or bone injury with an individualised implant, osteochondral injuries to the knee and ankle can be treated. READ MORE
