Feasibility study of combined dynamic imaging and lymphaticovenous anastomosis surgery for breast cancer-related lymphoedema.
(2019-01)
Background Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) presents a significant healthcare burden and adversely affects quality of life of breast cancer survivors. A prospective feasibility study was performed on lymphaticovenous ...
The Feasibility of Thermal Imaging as a Future Portal Imaging Device for Therapeutic Ultrasound.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2016-08-01)
This technical note describes a prototype thermally based portal imaging device that allows mapping of energy deposition on the surface of a tissue mimicking material in a focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) beam by using an ...
InfuShield: a shielded enclosure for administering therapeutic radioisotope treatments using standard syringe pumps.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-03-01)
The administration of radionuclide therapies presents significant radiation protection challenges. The aim of this work was to develop a delivery system for intravenous radioisotope therapies to substantially moderate ...
Characterization of the diffusion coefficient of blood.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
PURPOSE: To characterize the diffusion coefficient of human blood for accurate results in intravoxel incoherent motion imaging. METHODS: Diffusion-weighted MRI of blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers was acquired with ...
Motion monitoring during a course of lung radiotherapy with anchored electromagnetic transponders : Quantification of inter- and intrafraction motion and variability of relative transponder positions.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2017-10-01)
PURPOSE: Anchored electromagnetic transponders for tumor motion monitoring during lung radiotherapy were clinically evaluated. First, intrafractional motion patterns were analyzed as well as their interfractional variations. ...
