1. Correlation between Surface and Tumour Motion in Lung Cancer - including Deep Learning Perspectives
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis was to retrospectively investigate correlation between surface and tumour motion in lung cancer patients, alongside deep learning applications of the results. Additional correlations such as age, tumour volume and anatomical placement of the tumour were also investigated. READ MORE

2. Characterization of Radiomics Features Extracted from Images Generated by the 0.35 T Scanner of an Integrated MRI-Linac
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Purpose: In an era of personalized oncology where the aim is to give every patient the right treatment at the right time an area of promising research is emerging called radiomics, or quantitative image analysis. The main underlying hypothesis is that pathophysiological information can be found in image texture not visible to the bare eye that can improve diagnosis, treatment adaption or be linked to a certain clinical outcome.

3. Clinical implementation of 4D Guidance during lung cancer treatment with radiation therapy
University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemAbstract : Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment for lung cancer. This technique relies on killing the tumor cells by focusing electron or photon beam in the area. READ MORE

4. Robustness of the voluntary breath-hold approach for the treatment of early stage lung cancer with spot scanned proton therapy
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. READ MORE

5. Prototype Development of an A-Mode Ultrasound Based Intrafraction Motion Management System
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)Abstract : Owing to the steep dose fall-off curves of high precision and accuracy radiation therapy (RT) modalities such as stereotactic body RT (SBRT), treatment plans with extraordinarily small margins to organs at risk (OARs), such as the spinal cord, has been made possible. With this development, patient movements during treatment, i.e. READ MORE
