Things to consider when targeting a journal for publication: for Canadian Radiation Therapists
Download2015-03-01
The profession of radiation therapy is relatively new to the field of research and academic publishing. This is brief guide reviews some factors that may influence ones decision on which journal to publish in. We wrote this to assist novice researchers (in radiation therapy or otherwise) on their...

Spring 2010
A prototype system which has integrated a linear accelerator (linac) with a magnetic resonance imager (MRI) has been constructed at the Cross Cancer Institute. The real time operation of a linac-MRI system will require proper radio frequency (RF) shielding such that the MRI images can be acquired...

Magnetic resonance imaging based radiotherapy treatment planning: problems, solutions, and applications
DownloadFall 2010
Despite their unmatched soft-tissue contrast, Magnetic Resonance (MR) images suffer from wide-ranging image distortions; this has raised questions about their suitability as an imaging modality upon which to base conformal radiation therapy treatment plans. This thesis addresses image distortion...

Spring 2012
A promising approach to the development of an integrated system for magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy involves the rigid coupling of a medical linear accelerator to a rotating biplanar magnet assembly. Through near real-time volumetric imaging during irradiation, this hybrid system...

Fall 2016
The integration of clinical linear accelerators (linacs) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems represent the next generation of image guidance technologies in radiotherapy. Linac-MR systems have several potential advantages over the current X-ray based state-of-the-art image guidance...

Investigating Radiation in Combination with Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus to Improve the Treatment of Glioblastoma
DownloadFall 2023
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant and immune-suppressed brain cancer that remains incurable despite the current standard of care. Radiotherapy is a mainstay of GBM treatment, however invasive cancer cells outside the irradiated field and radioresistance preclude complete eradication of GBM cells....
