This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Spring 2017
Hybrid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiation therapy devices are capable of imaging in real-time to track intrafractional lung tumour motion during radiotherapy. In the real time tumour tracking treatment scheme, MR images are acquired in real time, then the tumour target is localized...

Fall 2011
The integration of a clinical linear accelerator (linac) with a magnetic resonance imager (MRI) will offer real time images during treatment, making tumor tracking possible. One of the challenges of the integration is removing any mutual interference between the two systems. Methods of removing...

Metal Artifact Reduction in Computed Tomographic (CT) Images for Radiotherapy Treatment Planning
DownloadSpring 2014
High density/high atomic number metallic objects create shading and streaking metal artifacts in the CT image that can cause inaccurate delineation of anatomical structures or inaccurate radiation dose calculation. We developed techniques for reducing metal artifacts in both megavoltage CT...

Spring 2012
The aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of low field MR based real time lung tumour tracking, a promising application of proposed linac-MR system. In this work, motion phantoms replicating low field MR contrast parameters for thoracic anatomy of lung cancer patients are imaged with...
