[Robust treatment planning in proton therapy] KU Leuven
The concentration of the dose delivered by protons at the end of their path, the Bragg peak, has the potential to improve external radiotherapy treatments. Unfortunately, the main strength of the protons, their finite range, is also their greatest weakness. Any uncertainty on the range may lead to inadequate target coverage or excessive toxicity. The uncertainties have multiple origins and include, among others, ballistic errors, morphological ...
Metabolic imaging in non-small-cell lung cancer radiotherapy KU Leuven
Metabolic imaging by positrons emission tomography (PET) offers new perspectives in the field of non-small-cell lung cancer radiation therapy. First, it can be used to refine the way nodal and primary tumour target volumes are selected and delineated, in better agreement with the underlying tumour reality. In addition, the non-invasive spatiotemporal mapping of the tumour biology and the organs at risk function might be further used to steer ...
Digital image correlation for full-field time-resolved assesment of arterial stiffness KU Leuven
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) of the arterial system is a very important parameter to evaluate cardiovascular health. Currently, however, there is no golden standard for PWV measurement. In this work, DIC was used for full-field time-resolved assessment of displacement, velocity, acceleration and strains of the skin in the neck directly above the common carotid artery (CCA).By assessing these parameters, propagation of the pulse wave could be ...
