4DCT imaging to assess radiomics feature stability: An investigation for thoracic cancers

A serial 4DCT study to quantify range variations in charged particle radiotherapy of thoracic cancers

Weekly serial 4DCT scans were acquired under free breathing conditions to assess water-equivalent path length (WEL) variations due to both intrafractional and interfractional changes in tissue thickness and density and to calculate proton dose distributions resulting from anatomical variations observed in serial 4DCT. A template of region of interests (ROIs) was defined on the anterior-posterio...

an investigation about the appropriate stochastic modeling framework for agricultural insurance pricing

با توجه به اینکه بیمه محصولات کشاورزی در ایران بیشتر جنبه ای حمایتی دارد و خسارات گزارش شده عموما بیش از حق بیمه های دریافت شده است، در این پایان نامه به جهت تعیین قیمت بیمه محصولات کشاورزی (گندم دیم) از فرآیندهای نوفه شلیک به عنوان مدلی مناسب استفاده شده است. بر اساس داده های صندوق بیمه کشاورزی از خسارات اعلام شده در سال زراعی 1388-1389 گندم دیم، در این پایان نامه حق بیمه خالص و ناخالص این محص...

The impact of breathing guidance and prospective gating during thoracic 4DCT imaging: an XCAT study utilizing lung cancer patient motion.

Two interventions to overcome the deleterious impact irregular breathing has on thoracic-abdominal 4D computed tomography (4DCT) are (1) facilitating regular breathing using audiovisual biofeedback (AVB), and (2) prospective respiratory gating of the 4DCT scan based on the real-time respiratory motion. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of AVB and gating on 4DCT imaging using t...

An EFQM Based Model to Assess an Enterprise Readiness for ERP Implementation

In today's competitive market, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is widely being used by industries. However, the results of the research efforts carried out in this field reveal that the rate of successful implementations for ERP projects is low and in most cases the planned goals are not achieved. Therefore it is necessary to assess maturity of an enterprise in terms of factors affect...
