ADVANCING THE RADIATION ONCOLOGY CLINIC WITH MOTION MANAGEMENT AND AUTOMATIC TREATMENT PLANNING
Sprouts, Damon Anton; 0000-0002-1017-4798 (2022-06-09)The leading cause of premature death (death under the age of 70) is cancer. The top five cancers for both male and female are: lung, colorectum, pancreas, breast cancer, and prostate. In 2020 there was an estimated 19.3 ... -
GPU-based Monte Carlo Applications in Radiation Medicine
Lai, Youfang (2021-12-02)Radiation can be used to image tumor site or kill tumor cells noninvasively, playing an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment. Because of the increasing burden that cancer brings to the society, there always ... -
INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERY OF NOVEL TRANSITION METAL CYSTEAMINE SYSTEMS WITH HALOGENS FROM THE FIRST PRINCIPLES CALCULATIONS
Alkhaldi, Noura Dawas (2021-12-20)Cu-cysteamine (Cu-Cy) is a material that has the cysteamine bonded with Cu. It is a molecular photosensitizer which can be activated by visible, ultraviolet light, and X-rays to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cu-Cy ... -
Investigation of range verification in carbon ion therapy using Monte Carlo simulation
Chalise, Ananta (2020-08-11)Carbon ion therapy is one of the advanced forms for radiotherapy and currently only available in few developed countries. Unlike conventional radiation therapy methods, carbon ion therapy has high potential in treating ... -
STUDYING THE OXYGEN EFFECT IN PROTON THERAPY VIA GPU-BASED MICROSCOPIC MONTE CARLO SIMULATION
Guillen, Marcos Joseph (2020-08-10)Dissolved oxygen molecules are known to play an important role in radiotherapy. For example, tumor cells can be more radio-resistance under hypoxia than normoxia. There has been multiple hypothesis proposed to explain these ...
