Motion Artifact Suppression in 4D CT Reconstruction with Iterative Back Projection
Published Thursday, October 15, 2015Computational tomography (CT) is computer-aided reconstruction imaging of X-ray projection data and is commonly used for diagnostic purposes. Although image quality is essential for diagnostic accuracy, CT images are prone to artifacts because the image is reconstructed using multiple measurements and a single error in...

Noninvasive Characterization of Mechanical Properties of Materials and Tissue using Magnetic Resonance Techniques
Published Wednesday, February 6, 2019Many diseases alter the mechanical properties of tissue. Accordingly, the mechanical properties can serve as biomarkers for disease, diagnosis, and tumor assessment. While some larger diseased tissues or abnormalities near the surface of a patient can be detected by palpitation, many are located deep within the patient or too small to...

Prompt Gamma Imaging System for Proton Range Verification using a Compton Camera
Published Tuesday, April 11, 2017Range uncertainty in the exact position of the distal dose gradient of a proton beam delivered within a patient during radiotherapy (RT) can lead to underdosing of the tumor or to excessive dosing to adjacent healthy tissues or critical organs at risk. The unwanted side effects and complications due this uncertainty is...
