Skin Dose in Longitudinal and Transverse Linac-MRIs using Monte-Carlo and realistic 3D MRI field models
DownloadSpring 2013
Keyvanloo Shahrestanaky, Amirmohamad
The integration of a clinical linear accelerator (linac) with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system would provide real-time tumor tracking. The magnetic fields of linac-MR systems modify the path of contaminant electrons in photon beams, which alters patient skin dose. In this work, we used...

Spectral Editing for Detection of Oncologically Relevant Metabolites with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 9.4 T
DownloadFall 2019
Short echo time (TE) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques with spectral fitting are commonly employed approaches for brain metabolite quantification at 9.4 T. However, there is a significant overlap of peaks in short-TE spectra, even at 9.4 T. To better resolve resonances, spectral...

Modern effort in radiotherapy to address the challenges of tumor localization and motion has led to the development of MRI guided radiotherapy technologies. Accurate dose calculations must properly account for the effects of the MRI magnetic fields. St-Aubin et al. (2015, 2016) have investigated...

Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin Angular Stabilization of the Linear Boltzmann Transport Equation with Magnetic Fields
DownloadSpring 2020
Dose modelling is an important component of radiotherapy treatment planning, as clinicians prescribe a dose to a tumour while requiring certain adjacent organs to receive at or below a given tolerance dose. Mathematical models such as the linear Boltzmann transport equation, or LBTE, provide a...

Mitosis is the last and the shortest stage of the cell cycle with the ultimate goal of equal distribution of replicated genetic material into two daughter cells. Proper execution of mitosis is very important for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Failure of the accurate segregation of genetic...

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by involuntary weight loss, wasting of skeletal muscle driven by reduced food intake and abnormal metabolism. Cachexia has a negative impact on quality of life, response to chemotherapy and survival. Cachexia research is undeveloped with...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can visualize solid tumours in real time and its integration with a linear accelerator offers the possibility to track tumours during irradiation. However, irradiating a patient inside a linac-MR poses several challenges. MRI uses radiofrequency (RF) coils to...

Synthetic lethal targeting of polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase and its potential role in directed cancer therapies
DownloadFall 2012
Synthetic lethality arises when simultaneous disruption of two non-essential, non-allelic genes in the same cell causes lethality. This phenomenon has been shown to occur between proteins involved in DNA repair and much attention to date has focused on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and the BRCA...
