BACKGROUND We developed a cardiac SPECT system (X-ACT) with low dose volume CT transmission-based attenuation correction (AC). Three solid-state detectors are configured to form a triple-head system for emission scans and reconfigured to form a 69-cm field-of-view detector arc for transmission scans. A near mono-energetic transmission line source is produced from the collimated fluorescence x-r...

Background: The dynamic phantom is one of the best tools to study the impact of motion on tumor target delineation and absorbed dose verification during dose delivery. Materials and Methods: this study, a 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) phantom was designed following the stacked serial kinematics and assembled by six commercial motion stages to generate 6-DOF motion, which were RotX (pitch, around X...

BACKGROUND Patient-specific dose verification for treatment planning in helical tomotherapy is routinely performed using a homogeneous virtual water cylindrical phantom of 30 cm diameter and 18 cm length (Cheese phantom). Because of this small length, treatment with total marrow irradiation (TMI) requires multiple deliveries of the dose verification procedures to cover a wide range of the targe...

PURPOSE To investigate beam quality correction, KQQ0 (r) and phantom scatter correction, Kphan (r) for lithium formate dosimeter as a function of distance r along the transverse axis of the high-energy brachytherapy sources 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 169Yb using the Monte Carlo-based EGSnrc code system. MATERIALS AND METHODS The brachytherapy sources investigated in this study are BEBIG High Dose...

Superelastic Ti-Ni-based shape memory alloys are promising elastocaloric materials for solid-state refrigeration. In this paper, we studied the mechanical properties and effect of a severely cold rolled Ti-44Ni-5Cu-1Al (at.%) alloy composed nanograins $(\ensuremath{\sim}5\text{--}16\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm})$. The exhibits partial stress-induced martensitic transformation with lar...
