Analysis of Collimation during Fluoroscopically-Guided Interventions: Using a Large-Scale Archive to Assess Collimation during Different Procedures

Authors: James R Duncan, Nikhat Fatima Mansoori, Allan Thomas

Affiliation: Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Collimation during fluoroscopically-guided interventions (FGIs) can not only reduce radiation exposure to patients and personnel but also improve image quality. Nonetheless, there are concern...

BEST IN PHYSICS IMAGING: Dosimetric Impact of Iodinated Contrast Agent on Fibroglandular Tissue in Contrast-Enhanced Digital Mammography

Authors: Hannah Grover, Andrew J. Sampson

Affiliation: Oregon Health & Science University, UT Health San Antonio

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The goal of this work was to quantify the dosimetric impact of iodinated contrast on fibroglandular breast tissue to better inform clinical risk and benefit assessments when determining the m...

BEST IN PHYSICS IMAGING: Population-Based Cardio-Respiratory Motion Model to Simulate 4D CT Angiography and 2D+t Fluoroscopy for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Authors: Debarghya China, Junghoon Lee, Ali Uneri

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

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study aims to develop a population-based cardio-respiratory motion model and apply it to patient-specific 3D CTA to simulate 4D CTA and 2D+t fluoroscopy sequences. The developed motion m...

Comparison of Dose Metrics to Critical Heart Substructures for Different Planning Techniques, and Scan Techniques for Right Sided Breast Irradiation

Authors: Wesley A. Belcher, Aidan Burke, Matthew Green, Taylor Stamey

Affiliation: ECU Health, East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using deep inhalation breath hold (DIBH) vs. free breathing (FB) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) vs. 3D for right-sid...

Contingency Planning for Left-Sided Breast Radiation Treatment Using Breath-Hold Technique with Different Delivery Methods

Authors: Nrusingh C. Biswal, Sally Cheston, Sung-Woo Lee, Weiguang Yao, Baoshe Zhang

Affiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Maryland School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: The deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique in left breast radiation reduces doses to critical organs such as the heart, left lung, and left anterior descending artery (LAD). With the a...
