  1. 36. Computational and experimental methods for imaging and dosimetry in 177Lu radionuclide therapy : Classical and novel gamma cameras

    Författare :Daniel Roth; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radionuklidterapi; [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE; Gammakamera; Aktivitetskvantifiering; Dosimetri; CdZnTe; Monte Carlo; Radionuclide therapy; [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE; Gamma camera imaging; Activity quantification; Dosimetry; CdZnTe; Monte Carlo;

    Sammanfattning : Radionuclide therapy (RNT) is a form of radiotherapy that uses unsealed radioactive sources for the delivery of ionising radiation within a patient's body.Radiation dosimetry is not used routinely in all centres, and the RNT field can benefit from more data on pharmacokinetics and absorbed doses (ADs).

  3. 37. Implementation of MRI gel dosimetry in radiation therapy

    Författare :Sven Bäck; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; uncertainty; detector; dosimeter; ferrous ions; gel dosimetry; magnetic resonance imaging; monomers; polymerisation; proton; treatment planning verification; radiation therapy; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Gel dosimetry was used together with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure three-dimensional absorbed dose distributions in radiation therapy. Two different dosimeters were studied: ferrous- and monomer gel, based on the principles of radiation-induced oxidation and polymerisation, respectively. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Dosimetric effects of removing the flattening filter in radiotherapy treatment units

    Författare :Mårten Dalaryd; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this work was to investigate the dosimetric effects of removing the flattening filter from conventional C-arm medical linear accelerators. In conventional linear accelerators used for radiotherapy, a flattening filter is positioned in the beam line to provide a uniform lateral dose profile at a specified depth in water. LÄS MER

  5. 39. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in hypopituitary patients and metabolic effects of growth hormone treatment

    Författare :Birgitta Bulow; Lund Medicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glucose metabolism; growth hormone replacement; growth hormone deficiency; long-term survival; craniopharyngioma; cardiovascular risk factors; Hypopituitarism; cardiovascular mortality; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : Premature atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular mortality have been shown in patients with hypopituitarism on conventional hormone treatment, but without growth hormone (GH) replacement. The aims of paper I-III were to investigate separately the risks for cerebrovascular and cardiac mortality as well as the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with hypopituitarism and to assess the long-term prognosis for patients with craniopharyngioma.

  7. 40. Integration of MRI into the radiotherapy workflow

    Författare :Joakim Jonsson; Tufve Nyholm; Mikael Karlsson; Magnus Karlsson; Uulke van der Heide; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; magnetic resonance imaging; radiotherapy; treatment planning; image registration; workflow; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Sammanfattning : The modern day radiotherapy treatments are almost exclusively based on computed tomography (CT) images. The CT images are acquired using x-rays, and therefore reflect the radiation interaction properties of the material. LÄS MER
