Creator:: Webb, Lindsey S.
Abstract:: As the field of radiation therapy evolves new treatment techniques will be established. An example of an evolving treatment technique is respiratory gated radiation therapy (RGRT). Research and studies have shown that RGRT can be used to account for tumor motion as a result of respiratory motion. With evolving technology...

Creator:: Polsdofer, Elizabeth M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges of accepting and commissioning a new treatment planning system for eye plaque brachytherapy. Currently Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) utilizes v5.3.9 of the Plaque Simulator software to plan all of its eye plaque brachytherapy cases. However, v5.3.9 is no...

Creator:: Le, Uyen Minh
Abstract:: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., and new approaches to control cancer are constantly sought. This dissertation is comprised of two parts: (i) improving the uptake and retention of gadolinium in tumors for potential gadoliniumneutron capture therapy (Gd-NCT) and (ii) integration of gemcitabine or...
