  1. 2437. The role of physics in Nuclear Medicine
    Prof. Anna Celler (University of British Columbia)

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

    The role which nuclear medicine (NM) imaging plays in the diagnosis of many diseases is already well recognized. In contrast to mostly anatomical modalities (CT, MRI and US), NM is able to provide in-vivo images examining functions of different body parts and organs. Additionally, recent years have witnessed a greatly increased interest in nuclear medicine applications in molecular imaging,...

  2. 2844. Optimization of Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Planning Dental Implant Treatments
    Nancy L. Ford (The University of British Columbia)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been a transformative technology for the dental profession, providing 3D imaging for individual teeth, the entire jaw or even the entire craniofacial complex. Advantages of dental CBCT machines include upright scanning, which provides a more natural mandible position, the convenience of producing 3D images in the dental office, and a reduced...

  3. 2804. CNT-based composite to eliminate Chemical shift error in simultaneous PET/MRI
    Ms Narjes Moghadam (Université de Sherbrooke)
    05/06/2019, 11:45
    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Simultaneous PET/ MRI scanner provides both anatomical and functional properties of malignant tissues concurrently, while avoiding uncertainty exists in sequential PET/MRI system. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) between two scanners is a big challenge which restricts both scanner performance and distorts the image quality of each modality.
    Although metals have excellent radio-frequency...

  4. 2838. Intracellular Retention and Redistribution of Gold Nanoparticles with Docetaxel
    Mr Aaron Bannister (University of Victoria)
    05/06/2019, 12:00
    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Docetaxel (DTX) is an anticancer drug used in combination with radiotherapy to treat many cancers. Currently, Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are being tested as novel radiosensitizers in radiotherapy. Addition of GNPs into this current protocol is expected to produce further therapeutic benefits. Our goal was to elucidate the behavior of GNPs in the presence of DTX since it can disturb the...
