1. Polymer gel dosimetry with MRI-readout for 3D dose verification - detector characteristics and clinical applications
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : 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

2. 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

3. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

5. Evaluation of intrafractional motion for patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy in open-faced immobilisation masks
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : Purpose/Background Patients receiving whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) today are treated with an immobilisation mask which fully covers their face and therefore might be experienced as uncomfortable and claustrophobic. In recent years, optical surface scanning (OSS) systems have been implemented for patient positioning and real-time motion monitoring [1]. READ MORE
