Optical-CT 3D Dosimetry Using Fresnel Lenses with Minimal Refractive-Index Matching Fluid
Telecentric optical computed tomography (optical-CT) is a state-of-the-art method for visualizing and quantifying 3-dimensional dose distributions in radiochromic dosimeters. In this work a prototype telecentric system (DFOS-Duke Fresnel Optical-CT Scanner) is evaluated which incorporates two substantial design changes: the use of Fresnel lenses (reducing lens costs from $10-30K t0 $1-3K) and t...
متن کامل3D dosimetry by optical-CT scanning.
The need for an accurate, practical, low-cost 3D dosimetry system is becoming ever more critical as modern dose delivery techniques increase in complexity and sophistication. A recent report from the Radiological Physics Center (RPC) (1), revealed that 38% of institutions failed the head-and-neck IMRT phantom credentialing test at the first attempt. This was despite generous passing criteria (w...
متن کاملHow to perform dosimetry with Optical CT
Both polymer gels and PRESAGE radiochromic solid dosimeter, in conjunction with optical CT scanning system, have been employed to measure 3-D dose distribution. The 3-D dose maps obtained from these systems can provide a useful tool for dose verification on complex treatments such as IMRT, radiosurgery, and RapidArc. These complex treatments present high dose gradient regions in the boundaries ...

پرستاری از بیمار مبتلا به بیماری آلزایمر چندان ساده نیست. حتی اگر از این امر که اختلال رفتاری فرد نشانه ای از بیماری اوست، آگاه باشید، اکثر مواقع نمی دانید که چگونه باید با او رفتار کنید. در این مقاله روشهای مناسبی ارائه گردیده تا خانواده بیمار بتواند با ۱۰ اختلال رفتاری شایع در بیماران مبتلا بدون احساس ناامیدی و خشم سازگاری یابند.
متن کاملEliminating the need for refractive index matching in optical CT scanners for radiotherapy dosimetry: I. Concept and simulations.
Optical computed tomography has now become a well-established method for making empirical measurements of 3D dose distributions in radiotherapy treatment verification. The requirement for effective refractive index matching as part of the scanning process has long been an inconvenience for users, limiting the speed of sample throughput. We propose a new method for reconstructing data that takes...
