Combining Flat-Panel Imaging and Internal BB Markers for Precise HDR Brachytherapy Source Localization

Authors: Yibin Ling, Qihui Lyu, Ke Sheng

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

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy enables radiation to concentrate on the tumor by sending the high-dose-rate radioactive source directly to the treatment site. On the other hand, the sha...

Development and Evaluation of Fat Fraction Reference Materials for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Authors: Hyo-Min Cho, Cheolpyo Hong, Changwoo Lee, Sunyoung Lee

Affiliation: Daegu Catholic University, Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science

Abstract Preview: Purpose: With the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome, the importance of diagnosing obesity and fatty liver diseases has grown significantly. As a result, there is a rising demand for non-inva...
