  1. 6. Simulation of Microwave Heating of Healthy and Cancerous Human Tissue With Gold Nanoparticles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hampus Carlens; Mika Söderström; [2022]
    Keywords : Gold nanoparticle GNP ; Electrophoretic resonance; Dispersive permittivity; Cancer treatment; Waveguide; Radiotherapy; Graded material.;

    Abstract : With a great need for new and better cancer treatments, microwaves and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are increasingly being suggested to be used in radiotherapy. In thisreport, the authors present an investigation of how human tissue,both malignant and healthy, behaves under microwave radiation. READ MORE

  3. 7. Deformable registration when combining brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk avbildning

    Author : Lisa Mach; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Patients with cervical cancer are treated both with external beam radiotherapy(EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT) which involves an applicator. During the treatments, CT-images are taken and to perform dose calculations, deformable image registration (DIR) is performed. READ MORE

  4. 8. Scenario dose prediction for robust automated treatment planning in radiation therapy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Oskar Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Radiation therapy; automated treatment planning; scenario dose prediction; robust optimization; dose mimicking; Strålterapi; automatisk behandlingsplanering; scenariodosprediktion; robust optimering; dosåterskapande;

    Abstract : Cancer is a group of diseases that are characterized by abnormal cell growth and is considered a leading cause of death globally. There are a number of different cancer treatment modalities, one of which is radiation therapy. READ MORE

  5. 9. Clinical dose feature extraction for prediction of dose mimicking parameters

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Anton Finnson; [2021]
    Keywords : Radiation therapy; feature extraction; wavelets; treatment planning; dose mimicking; variational autoencoder; Strålterapi; wavelets; doshärmning;

    Abstract : Treating cancer with radiotherapy requires precise planning. Several planning pipelines rely on reference dose mimicking, where one tries to find machine parameters best mimicking a given reference dose. Dose mimicking relies on having a function that quantifies dose similarity well, necessitating methods for feature extraction of dose images. READ MORE

  6. 10. Toxicity of Pulsed Beams in Radiation Therapy from a Physio-Chemical Perspective

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Karin Källén; [2021]
    Keywords : FLASH; radiotherapy; ultra high; dose rates; radiolysis; cancer; medical; FLASH; strålbehandling; ultrahög; doshastighet; radiolys; cancer; medicinsk;

    Abstract : A significant portion of cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their curative or palliative treatment plan. Radiotherapy is however greatly limited by radiation induced toxicities in healthy tissue surrounding the tumour, which can lead to long-term or acute complications for a patient. READ MORE
