Real-time Cherenkov emission portal imaging during CyberKnife® radiotherapy.
The feasibility of real-time portal imaging during radiation therapy, through the Cherenkov emission (CE) effect is investigated via a medical linear accelerator (CyberKnife(®)) irradiating a partially-filled water tank with a 60 mm circular beam. A graticule of lead/plywood and a number of tissue equivalent materials were alternatively placed at the beam entrance face while the induced CE at t...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملTranscatheter Myocardial Needle Chemoablation During Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Radiofrequency ablation for rhythm disorders is limited by the inability instantaneously to visualize and monitor ablation lesions and by the mismatch between immediate injury and irreversible conduction block. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thermometry only approximates the extent of irreversible lesions. Late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI correlates with histological lesion volume but ca...
متن کاملReal - Time Imaging
| Cloudiness constitutes an important quality parameter of nonwoven fabrics. We show that it can be graded using a speciic Laplacian pyramid decomposition which has to be modiied at the boundaries. An algorithm is presented which calculates a quality measure as a weighted mean of the variances at all pyramid levels, where the weights are adapted to the human perception of cloudi-ness. The obtai...
متن کاملReal Time Imaging
In this paper, we propose to integrate the imaging process with the correlator hardware in order to handle the high data rates and imaging problems for radio telescope arrays with large numbers of antennas and large fields of view. We use FX correlators and beam formers with a high data bandwidth into computer clusters to support a flexible programming environment. The correlation function is c...
