A simple method to import CAD mesh format models in FLUKA. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2023 Abstract Background Monte Carlo (MC) code FLUKA possesses widespread usage and accuracy in the simulation of particle beam radiotherapy. However, the conversion from computer‐aided design (CAD) mesh format models to FLUKA readable geometries could not be implemented directly and conveniently. A simple method was required to be developed.

A rare case of systemic lupus erythematosus-associated neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder with cystic lesions and dual seropositivity for anti-AQP4 and anti-MOG antibodies. [PDF]
Clin Case RepKey Clinical Message In patients with SLE, concurrent NMOSD can manifest with optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. AQP‐4 antibody positivity confirms the diagnosis. Prompt treatment is critical to manage the acute symptoms and prevent relapses, as highlighted by a young patient's case with optic neuritis and extensive spinal cord lesions.

Experimental dosimetry of EDR2 films in scanning carbon-ion irradiation. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2022 Abstract Purpose To investigate the dose‐sensitometric response of extended dose range (EDR2) films to scanning carbon‐ion beams and to evaluate the applications of the obtained response curves to carbon‐ion dose distributions. Methods EDR2 films were irradiated by mono‐energetic scanning carbon‐ion beams with different doses to obtain sensitometric ...

RIFIS: A Novel Rice Field Sidewalk Detection Dataset for Walk-Behind Hand Tractor
Data, 2022 Rice field sidewalk (RIFIS) identification plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of agricultural computer applications, especially for rice farming, by dividing the image into areas of rice fields to be ploughed and the areas outside of rice fields. This division isolates the desired area and reduces computational costs for processing RIFIS

Characterizing diamond detectors for various dose and dose rate measurements in scanned carbon and oxygen beams. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background The emerging FLASH radiotherapy technique employs “Ultra‐High Dose Rate” (UHDR) irradiations and offers the potential to spare normal tissue while maintaining iso‐effective tumor treatment. Given the physical and biological advantages inherent to high “Linear Energy Transfer” (LET) particles, the combination of UHDR and high LET has
