  1. 1. Polymer gel dosimetry with MRI-readout for 3D dose verification - detector characteristics and clinical applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Thi Guldhill; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exposure Monitoring and Dosimetry - Optimizing Radiation Protection in Interventional Cardiology

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Institutionen för strålningsvetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Interventional cardiology; Radiation protection; Air kerma measurements; Radiation shielding; Projection angle;

    Abstract : During interventional cardiology (IC), medical staff are exposed to scattered ionizing radiation from the patient, potentially leading to various radiation-induced health effects. Therefore, shielding devices are routinely used to reduce occupational exposure during IC procedures. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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. 4. 3D printer in dosimetry and mammography – designing and testing an OSL dosemeter holder and a low contrast-detail phantom

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Måns Boll; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Today, 3D printing is a versatile tool used in a wide range of fields. With the advent of more cost-effective fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technologies it is time to investi- gate what such a 3D printer has to offer in radiation science applications.
