Investigating Microcalcification Detectability in a Static Breast Cone Beam CT Via Monte Carlo Simulation

Authors: Ahad Ollah Ezzati, Xiaoyu Hu, Xun Jia, Youfang Lai, Kai Yang, Yuncheng Zhong

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Johns Hopkins University

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Gantry motion and patient breathing during a breast cone beam CT (bCBCT) scan is one of the major challenges for microcalcification (ΞΌCalcs) detection. By deploying a large number of individu...

Investigating X-Ray Flash Effect on Plasmid DNA with Combined Microscopic Monte Carlo and Analytical Simulations

Authors: Xun Jia, Youfang Lai

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins University

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Ultrahigh dose rate FLASH (>40 Gy/s) radiotherapy (RT) has attracted significant attention. The mechanism remains unclear, hindering clinical translation. This study investigated the behavior...
