  • Accounting for Heterogeneity Corrections in Breast Brachytherapy

    Creator:
    Rogers, Kevin L.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: Model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) have become clinically available within the past several years in commercially available brachytherapy planning systems. This work investigates the application of a 510(k) approved MBDCA Acuros™ BV and establishes a reproducible method of validation. The research is broken into three primary research goals. The...

  • Precise lateral dose profile measurements of surface interfaces of hip prostheses

    Creator:
    Arnold, Alison
    Abstract:
    With the growing incidence of total hip replacements performed each year in the United States, the incidence of patients with prosthesis requiring radiotherapy is bound to increase. It is necessary to understand and quantify the effects of the high atomic number material prostheses used in total hip replacements on therapeutic...

  • Hybrid classical-quantum dose computation method for radiation therapy treatment planning

    Creator:
    Colburn, Gabriel G.
    Abstract:
    Radiation therapy treatment planning and optimization requires accurate, precise, and fast computation of absorbed dose to all critical and target volumes in a patient. A new method for speeding up the computational costs of Monte Carlo dose calculations is described that employs a hybrid classical-quantum computing architecture. Representative results are...

  • Comparison of two commercial detector arrays for RapidArc quality assurance

    Creator:
    Asay, Matthew Jamin
    Abstract:
    Radiation therapy is used in approximately half of all cancer treatments. The rapid advances in radiation therapy have led to techniques that are much more complex and therefore must be more carefully assessed for safety and efficacy. Accurate quality assurance methods must be implemented to provide patient safety and confidence...
