Development of a high-resolution gamma-ray imaging system with synthetic collimation.
Havelin, Ronan (2013-11-01)This work outlines the development of a multi-pinhole single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system designed to produce a synthetic-collimator image of a small field of view. The synthetic-collimator image was ... -
A Monte Carlo Investigation in External Beam Radiotherapy
Conneely, Elaine (2011-09-30)Monte Carlo techniques have been shown to be the most accurate method of modelling radiation transport and dose deposition. With increasingly complex radiotherapy techniques being employed in the continuing fight against ... -
Monte Carlo Simulation of Medical Accelerator Electron Treatment Heads
O'Shea, Tuathan (2012-02-02)Monte Carlo simulation is an accurate and detailed method of modelling the complex electron source configurations and geometries seen in radiation therapy. It is known to be very accurate when used properly for patient ... -
Radiobiological modelling in Radiation Oncology
Walsh, Sean (2011-09-30)Biological models potentially o er the ability to predict the response of tumour control to irradiation. A tumour control probability (TCP) model with excellent radiobiological pedigree was developed and examined to predict ...
