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...

Paraspinal muscle morphology, composition and asymmetries: determinants and relation to low back pain and pathology.
DownloadFall 2013
Background The lumbar paraspinal muscles are critical to provide spine stability, maintain proper posture and assist trunk movement. Although considerable attention has been focused on the association between variations in paraspinal muscle morphology and low back pain (LBP), their role in the...

Predictive value of magnetic resonance imaging of disc displacement for temporomandibular disorder signs and symptoms in a pre-orthodontic adolescent patient population
DownloadFall 2009
The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the predictive value of quantitative MRI disc displacement for changes of TMD signs and symptoms in a pre-orthodontic adolescent patient sample. The sample consisted of fifty-five adolescent patients who had baseline temporomandibular joint...
