Registration error of the liver CT using deformable image registration of MIM Maestro and Velocity AI

BMC Medical Imaging, 2017
Background Understanding the irradiated area and dose correctly is important for the reirradiation of organs that deform after irradiation, such as the liver.

Comparison of pencil beam and Monte Carlo calculations with ion chamber array measurements for patient-specific quality assurance

Radiation Medicine and Protection, 2022
Objective: To determine under what conditions and criteria comparisons between calculations made with the current clinical treatment planning system (Syngo) and an in-house built TPS (TIMPS) would allow skipping of in-beam portal-specific measurements ...

Monitoring of breathing motion in image-guided PBS proton therapy: comparative analysis of optical and electromagnetic technologies

Radiation Oncology, 2017
Background Motion monitoring is essential when treating non-static tumours with pencil beam scanned protons. 4D medical imaging typically relies on the detected body surface displacement, considered as a surrogate of the patient's anatomical changes, a ...

The rate of the proton-proton reaction

The Astrophysical Journal, 1994
We re-evaluate the matrix element for the proton-proton reaction which is important for stellar-evolution calculations and for the solar-neutrino problem. We self-consistently determine the effect of vacuum polarization on the matrix element by first correcting the low-energy scattering data to account for vacuum polarization.

Verification of an independent dose calculation method for portal-specific QA of proton and carbon ion beams

Radiation Medicine and Protection, 2022
Objective: To verify the accuracy of an independent dose calculation method, as incorporated into an in-house developed treatment planning system (TPS), for performing quality assurance of dose distributions delivered to a water phantom planned by a ...
