Predicting the Brexit outcome using singular spectrum analysis
In a referendum conducted in the United Kingdom (UK) on June 23, 2016, $51.6\%$ of the participants voted to leave the European Union (EU). The outcome of this referendum had major policy and financial impact for both UK and EU, and was seen as a surprise because the predictions consistently indicate that the ``Remain'''' would get a majority. In this paper, we investigate whether the outcome o...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic imaging of prostate brachytherapy seeds
Brachytherapy seed therapy is an increasingly common way to treat prostate cancer through localized radiation. The current standard of care relies on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for imaging guidance during the seed placement procedure. As visualization of individual metallic seeds tends to be difficult or inaccurate under TRUS guidance, guide needles are generally tracked to infer seed placem...
متن کاملUltrasonic detection and imaging of
Brachytherapy to treat prostate cancer uses transrectal ultrasound to guide transperitoneal needle implantation of titanium-shelled radioactive seeds. The standard external dimensions of all seeds used for prostate brachytherapy is 4.5 mm in length and 0.85 mm in diameter. Gland deformation and needle deflection during implantation allow seed-placement errors that cause suboptimal dosimetry. Co...
متن کاملIn vivo visualization of prostate brachytherapy seeds with photoacoustic imaging.
We conducted a canine study to investigate the in vivo feasibility of photoacoustic imaging for intraoperative updates to brachytherapy treatment plans. A fiber coupled to a 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser was inserted into high-dose-rate brachytherapy needles, which diffused light spherically. These needles were inserted through the perineum into the prostate for interstitial light delivery and the resul...
متن کاملUsing PSO algorithm optimization for planning 103Pd seeds brachytherapy positions
Radiation therapy, is one of the treatments for cancer. Brachytherapy is a radiotherapeutic technique that a sealed radiation source is placed inside or next to the tissue and has become a mainstream treatment option for cancer. Achieving maximum dose to the gland as well as minimum injury to the adjacent tissues is a basic principle in radiation therapy. Sources configuration must be designed ...
