  • Vernier Picket Fence Test : A Non-Imaging Method to Localize the Radiation Isocenter with Submillimeter Accuracy

    Creator:
    Wong, Jennifer
    Abstract:
    Vernier Picket Fence (VPF) offers a method to achieve submillimeter accuracy for aligning the QA phantom to the radiation isocenter without the use of x-ray imaging. VPF tests are read similarly to vernier calipers. The maximum detector signal determines the optimal matching between MLC defined dose strips and detector positions....

  • In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

    Husby, Kirsty A.
    Abstract:
    Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...

  • Robots Against Infectious Diseases : A Technologically Grounded, Human-Centered Exploration

    Creator:
    Kraft, Kory
    Abstract:
    Robots have the potential to protect health care workers, provide patient care, and ultimately save lives in infectious disease outbreaks. Nevertheless, infectious disease outbreak scenarios present unique technological and social challenges for robotics. This work explores what robots can and should do in the fight against infectious diseases. We present...
