Abstract Positron emission tomography with x‐ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilized for radiation treatment planning (RTP). Accurate delivery of RT therefore depends on quality PET/CT data. This study covers quality control (QC) procedures required for PET/CT for diagnostic imaging and incremental QC required for RTP.

A small footprint couch‐top support device for image‐guided radiotherapy of heavy patients
Abstract Purpose Patients with body weights close to or above 400 lbs present unique challenges in radiation therapy since the weight limit of most treatment couches decreases as the couch‐top extends toward the treatment gantry. The purpose of this work was to develop a small footprint couch‐top support platform to safely perform image‐guided ...

Computational Design of Corrosion-resistant and Wear-resistant Titanium Alloys for Orthopedic Implants [PDF]
Titanium alloys are promising candidates for orthopedic implants due to their mechanical resilience and biocompatibility. Current titanium alloys in orthopedic implants still suffer from low wear and corrosion resistance. Here, we present a computational method for optimizing the composition of titanium alloys for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance

Hair resistance to mechanical wear [PDF]
Abstract Hair mechanical properties are primary indicators of hair integrity. Here we describe a methodology based on hair's resistance to mechanical wear to evaluate cosmetic treatments. Using a vibrational vortex cycle, we developed a protocol that relies on the plastic deformation and degradation of hair, due to frictional forces between hardened ...
