Overview of the Predictive Value of Quantitative 18 FDG PET in Head and Neck Cancer Treated with Chemoradiotherapy

18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) allows to quantify the metabolic activity of a tumor (glycolysis) and has become a reference tool in oncology for the staging, restaging, radiotherapy planning and ...

Energy-selective neutron imaging for materials science

Steven Luc X Peetermans

Common neutron imaging techniques study the attenuation of a neutron beam penetrating a sample of interest. The recorded radiograph shows a contrast depending on traversed material and its thickness. Tomography allows separating both and obtaining 3D spati ...

Enhancing Radiotherapy by Lipid Nanocapsule-Mediated Delivery of Amphiphilic Gold Nanoparticles to Intracellular Membranes

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney, Ye Yang

Amphiphilic gold nanoparticles (amph-NPs), composed of gold cores surrounded by an amphiphilic mixed organic ligand shell, are capable of embedding within and traversing lipid membranes. Here we describe a strategy using crosslink-stabilized lipid nanocaps ...

Radiation hardness of high-Q silicon nitride microresonators for space compatible integrated optics

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch

Integrated optics has distinct advantages for applications in space because it integrates many elements onto a monolithic, robust chip. As the development of different building blocks for integrated optics advances, it is of interest to answer the importan ...

Instrument intercomparison in the pulsed neutron fieldsat the CERN HiRadMat facility

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Daniel Perrin

An intercomparison of the performances of active neutron detectors was carried out in pulsed neutron fields in the new HiRadMat facility at CERN. Five detectors were employed: four of them (two ionization chambers and two rem counters) are routinely employ ...

Development of a ToF setup with an ion - guide for characterization of electrospray microthrusters

Herbert Shea, Caglar Ataman, Simon Dandavino, Daniel George Courtney, Subha Chakraborty

Electrospray microthrusters are a very promising micro-propulsion system which can potentially provide very high specific impulse (Isp ~ 3000s). In this paper, we report on the development of a time-of-flight (ToF) measurement setup for characterization of ...

High Intensity Beam Issues in the CERN Proton Synchrotron

Sandra Aumon

This PhD work is about limitations of high intensity proton beams observed in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) and, in particular, about issues at injection and transition energies. With its 53 years, the CERN PS would have to operate beyond the limit of i ...

STATISTICAL MODELING OF THE EYE FOR MULTIMODAL TREATMENT PLANNING FOR EXTERNAL BEAM RADIOTHERAPY OF INTRAOCULAR TUMORS

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Alessia Pica

A statistical shape model is a suitable tool for high accuracy eye modeling required for treatment planning for external beam radiotherapy of intraocular tumors. In this study, the automatically adapted eye model has been compared to manual segmentation ba ...
