Backscattering of Compton Cameras: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach

Authors: Jorge Naoki Dominguez Kondo, Qihui Lyu

Affiliation: University of California San Francisco, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, San Francisco

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) has emerged as a highly potent therapeutic method in oncology, but its development is limited by the lack of imaging methods to quantify its dosimetry. Convent...

Backward Photon Monte Carlo Propagator (BPMCP): Proof of Concept of a Fully Physics-Driven SPECT Reconstruction

Authors: Alejandro Bertolet, Carlos Huesa-Berral, Victor V. Onecha

Affiliation: Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radioembolization for liver tumors using 90Y microspheres uses SPECT as confirmatory dosimetry, although 90Y is a pure β-emitter, and SPECT-imaging is only available through subsequent bremss...

Clinically Ready Simulation Package for Monitoring Gamma Hotspot Emission, and Detection in Patient Anatomy

Authors: Ananta Raj Chalise, Matthias K Gobbert, Zhuoran Jiang, Sina Mossahebi, Stephen W. Peterson, Jerimy C. Polf, Lei Ren, Ehsan Shakeri, Vijay Raj Sharma, Jie Zhang

Affiliation: University of Maryland School of Medicine, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Stanford University, University of Maryland, School of Medine, Department of Physics, University of Cape Town, M3D, Inc

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Prompt gamma (PG) imaging is a promising modality for proton dose verification. Currently, there is a lack of effective tool to investigate the PG emission during proton therapy and optimize ...

Deep Learning-Based Prompt Gamma Imaging for Proton Range Verification Using Patient Data Simulation

Authors: Mostafa Cham, Matthias K Gobbert, Zhuoran Jiang, Sina Mossahebi, Ruth Obe, Stephen W. Peterson, Jerimy C. Polf, Lei Ren, Ehsan Shakeri, Vijay Raj Sharma

Affiliation: University of Maryland School of Medicine, UMBC, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Stanford University, University of Maryland, School of Medine, Department of Physics, University of Cape Town, M3D, Inc, Department of Infomation Systems, UMBC

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Compton camera (CC)-based prompt gamma imaging (PGI) offers real-time proton range verification. However, its limited-angle measurements cause severe distortions in PGI, affecting its clinica...

First-Time Live Imaging of Radiopharmaceutical Administration with a Hybrid Compton Camera

Authors: Ramesh Boggula, Jay W. Burmeister

Affiliation: Wayne State University, Karmanos Cancer Center, Gershenson ROC, Wayne State University School of Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study evaluated the performance of a hybrid Compton camera for real-time imaging during the administration of Lu-177-based radiopharmaceuticals, including Pluvicto and Lutathera. The aim...
