Biochemical Imaging of Gliomas Using MR Spectroscopic Imaging for Radiotherapy Treatment Planning
DownloadSpring 2014
This thesis discusses the main obstacles facing wide clinical implementation of magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) as a tumor delineation tool for radiotherapy treatment planning, particularly for gliomas. These main obstacles are identified as 1. observer bias and poor...

Dosimetry and Biological Studies for Microbeam Radiation Therapy at the Canadian Light Source
DownloadFall 2015
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a pre-clinical type of radiation therapy that uses an array of high-dose microbeams to treat solid tumours. An intense, quasi-parallel synchrotron beam is collimated to create microbeams several 10s of μm wide, and separated by 100s of μm. Animal studies...

Efficient data acquisition, transmission and post-processing for quality spiral Magnetic Resonance Imaging
DownloadFall 2011
Spiral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has traditionally presented more technical and computational challenges compared to its traditional Cartesian counterpart, notably a susceptibility to blurring artifacts, especially when scan parameters are non-optimal, and a heavier computational load both...

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...

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...
