Xanthene Dyes for Cancer Imaging and Treatment: A Material Odyssey [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Cancer is still among the leading health issues today, considering the cost, effectiveness, complexity of detection/treatment modalities and survival rates. One of the most important criteria for higher survival rates is the early and sensitive diagnosis of the disease that can direct the treatment modalities effectively.

Accuracy and reproducibility of a single‐pose image‐to‐robot registration method for mobile C‐arm cone beam CT guided histotripsy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Histotripsy is a focal tumor therapy that utilizes focused ultrasound (US) to mechanically destroy tissue. To overcome visualization limitations of diagnostic US‐guidance, C‐arm cone beam CT (CBCT)‐guided histotripsy is being developed, for which a mobile C‐arm could increase accessibility. CBCT‐guided histotripsy uses a phantom with a

The Concurrent Use of Medical Imaging Modalities and Innovative Treatments to Combat Retinitis Pigmentosa [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness globally, is a progressive retinal disease involving the degradation of photoreceptors (7) and/or retinal pigment epithelial cells (14). Affecting approximately 1 in 4000 people, RP is caused by a series of genetic mutations; each specific mutation presents a specific ...

The effect of tissue physiological variability on transurethral ultrasound therapy of the prostate [PDF]

40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2018, pp. 5701-5704, 2018
Therapeutic ultrasound is an investigational modality which could potentially be used for minimally invasive treatment of prostate cancer. Computational simulations were used to study the effect of natural physiological variations in tissue parameters on the efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound treatment in the prostate. The simulations were conducted on

Future (of) Synchrotrons for Particle Therapy [PDF]

CERN Yellow Report CERN-2017-004-SP pp. 293-307, 2018
The field of particle therapy is quickly growing and yet it's more widespread adoption is limited by size, cost and adaptation to the more conformal treatment techniques. In order to realize the benefits of this modality the equipment used to generate and deliver the beam is evolving.
