  1. 1134. Diffusion-Controlled Drug Release: Beyond Weibull

    Characterizing and predicting time release profiles is crucial in order to optimize the performance of drug devices. The exact analytical expression for the drug release function, which is a solution of the diffusion equation, is generally too complex to be employed for this purpose. Therefore, it is convenient to use simpler fitting functions which reproduce qualitatively the overall release...

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    In this study, quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to determine if it could detect atrophy and microstructural changes in the hippocampus, and damage to peripheral white matter (WM) structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The aim of our study was to determine if T1 relaxation, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and quantitative magnetization transfer imaging...

  3. 1380. Myocardial Flow Reserve Imaging to Direct Optimal Therapies for Ischemic Heart Disease
    Robert deKemp (uOttawa Heart Institute)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Nuclear cardiology imaging with SPECT or PET is used widely in North America for the diagnosis and management of patients with coronary artery disease. Conventional myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can identify areas of reversible ischemia, as suitable targets for coronary artery revascularization by angioplasty or bypass surgery. However, the accuracy of this technique is limited in...

  4. 1393. Towards reducing the dose needed for Megavoltage Cone Beam CT
    Dr Aram Teymurazyan
    16/06/2016, 09:30
    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Megavoltage (MV) x-ray beams generated from a linear accelerator (linac) are commonly used to deliver the prescribed radiation dose to the tumor while minimizing the dose to the surrounding healthy tissues. The geometric accuracy of such treatment is crucial for its success. Currently, there are a number of ways to verify the positional accuracy of the treated target. Megavoltage cone-beam...

  5. 1088. Simultaneous PET/MRI with Clinical and Preclinical Systems
    Jonathan Thiessen (Lawson Health Research Institute)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    In our experiences with simultaneous PET/MRI (Siemens Biograph mMR), we have seen several inherent advantages beyond improved anatomical information. In the heart, for example, new insight can be gained when fusing cine, gadolinium-enhanced, and relaxation time mapping MRI with PET tracers sensitive to glycolysis (18F-FDG), perfusion (13N-ammonia), or sympathetic...
