EP-2094 Machine QA Time Efficiency Savings with IBA Dolphin Detector

Dev114215 2094..2108

The liver is a central regulator of metabolism, and liver failure thus constitutes a major health burden. Understanding how this complex organ develops during embryogenesis will yield insights into how liver regeneration can be promoted and how functional liver replacement tissue can be engineered. Recent studies of animal models have identified key signaling pathways and complex tissue interac...

Operating Room Time Savings with the Use of Splint Packs: A Randomized Controlled Trial

 Background: The most expensive variable in the operating room (OR) is time. Lean Process Management is being used in the medical field to improve efficiency in the OR. Streamlining individual processes within the OR is crucial to a comprehensive time saving and cost-cutting health care strategy. At our institution, one hour of OR time costs approximately $500, exclusive of supply and personnel...

Detector Efficiency Parameterization with the MGA Code

The Multiple Group Analysis (MGA) code is widely used for the non-destructive determination of the relative isotopic composition of plutonium items. The MGA method is based solely on the analysis of the gamma-ray spectrum recorded using a high resolution gamma spectrometer. The form and function of the code has evolved greatly since its origins in the 1980’s. Over the lifetime of the code there...

Validation of a method for in vivo 3D dose reconstruction in SBRT using a new transmission detector

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) involves the delivery of substantially larger doses over fewer fractions than conventional therapy. Therefore, SBRT treatments will strongly benefit patients using vivo patient dose verification, because the impact of the fraction is large. For in vivo measurements, a commercially available quality assurance (QA) system is the COMPASS system (IBA Dosim...
