Quantitative Intensity Harmonization of Dopamine Transporter SPECT Images Using Gamma Mixture Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
PURPOSE: Differences in site, device, and/or settings may cause large variations in the intensity profile of dopamine transporter (DAT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images.

Student Perceptions of the Implementation of Novel Sonography Phantoms in Radiography Curricula: A Mixed Methods Study

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Anthropomorphic sonography phantoms can assist radiography students with understanding the theoretical principles of sonography. We examined students' perceptions of participating in tutorials which required students to use four sonography phantoms.

Use of anthropomorphic compressed breast phantoms for comparing ultrasound breast imagers

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
Two anthropomorphic breast phantoms were used to compare state-of the art ultrasound imagers. The phantoms mimic refractive effects at fat to nonfat boundaries, and include simulated and pathological structures like fibroadenomas, cysts, calcifications ...

Paediatric computed tomography diagnostic reference levels in Africa: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 139-147, March 2025.
Improvements in computed tomography (CT) technology have increased its applications in medical imaging. Variations in the paediatric DRLs indicate that harmonisation and standardisation of paediatric CT protocols are essential for the optimisation of paediatric doses. Abstract Introduction Improvements in computed tomography (CT) technology in terms of

Automatic Synthesis of Anthropomorphic Pulmonary CT Phantoms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The great density and structural complexity of pulmonary vessels and airways impose limitations on the generation of accurate reference standards, which are critical in training and in the validation of image processing methods for features such as ...

Wide-Angle Foveation for All-Purpose Use [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper proposes a model of a wide-angle space-variant image that provides a guide for designing a fovea sensor. First, an advanced wide-angle foveated (AdWAF) model is formulated, taking all-purpose use into account.

Technique considerations for implementing volumetric‐modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation within an Australian tertiary institution

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 165-172, March 2025.
In 2020, our institution transitioned to the Eclipse™ treatment planning system and to Truebeam® linear accelerators with 6 MV and 10 MV energies. The linear accelerators were installed in smaller bunkers that could not accommodate 400 cm FAD. A multidisciplinary team within the institution was created to evaluate existing total body irradiation ...

Correction of megavoltage cone-beam CT images of the pelvic region based on phantom measurements for dose calculation purposes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Megavoltage cone-beam CT (MVCBCT) is an imaging technology that provides a 3D representation of the patient in treatment position. Because it is a form of x-ray tomography, MVCBCT images give information about the attenuation coefficients of the imaged ...

Your C‐Arm May Be Dose Optimised but Is Your Surgical Procedure? The Evaluation and Dose Optimisation of Positioning Aids Used in Paediatric Image Guided Surgery

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study objectively evaluated the impact of positioning aids on radiation dose and image quality (IQ) in paediatric image guided surgery (IGS) and the potential for dose optimised imaging via the choice of positioning aid type selected for clinical use.
