    X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging is an integral part of small animal research. It is not only used for diagnosis of disease and monitoring of disease progression, but also for targeting of radiation therapy of cancer in image-guided small animal irradiators. CT imaging in small animals, known as microCT imaging, differs from clinical CT imaging in a number of aspects. Since smaller...

  2. 2033. Automated Optimization of Dynamic MRI Data Acquisition and Reconstruction Parameters using Image Quality Metrics (I)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquisitions – e.g. the acquisition of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI for the determination of pharmacokinetic model parameters – are challenging due to their requirement for simultaneous spatial and temporal resolution. This is in particular true for applications of DCE-MRI in areas such as prostate cancer, where the dynamics can be rapid (on the order...

  3. 2259. Binary Collimation for Multiple Brain Metastases Radiosurgery (G, I)
    Mr R Lee MacDonald (Dalhousie University)

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Purpose: A novel system of algorithms has been developed that allows for automated planning of conformally collimated radiotherapy plans for the treatment of multiple brain metastases with various prescription doses. This study uses simulated annealing to optimize the collimation to subsets of targets at specified incident radiation angles, along with modulation of dose, to achieve...

  4. 1974. Creating Research that Translates to Widespread Clinical Use (I)
    Dr Michelle Svatos (University of Wisconsin)
    13/06/2018, 09:15
    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    After twenty years of working in Radiation Therapy productization, this talk looks at numerous research projects that were attempted translations to commercial and clinical use, with examples of failures, successes and many projects in between. Some common characteristics of successful projects can be identified, and a process for cultivating products is shown. Examples from a career working...
