2. 1. Development of a Whole Body Atlas for Radiation Therapy Planning and Treatment Optimization

   Author : Sharif Qatarneh; Anders Brahme; Bengt Lind; Anders Ahnesjö; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : 3D whole body atlas; lymph node topography; matching transformation; radiation therapy planning; radiobiological optimization; segmentation; target volume definition; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

   Abstract : The main objective of radiation therapy is to obtain the highest possible probability of tumor cure while minimizing adverse reactions in healthy tissues. A crucial step in the treatment process is to determine the location and extent of the primary tumor and its loco regional lymphatic spread in relation to adjacent radiosensitive anatomical structures and organs at risk.

5. 3. Dosimetry Studies of Different Radiotherapy Applications using Monte Carlo Radiation Transport Calculations

   Author : Shirin Abbasinejad Enger; Hans Lundqvist; Anders Ahnesjö; Irena Gudowska; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; External Beam Radiotherapy; Gadolinium Neutron Capture Therapy; Gadolinium Neutron Capture Brachytherapy; Targeted Radionuclide therapy; Detector Response Modelling; Monte Carlo Simulation.; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

   Abstract : Developing radiation delivery systems for optimisation of absorbed dose to the target without normal tissue toxicity requires advanced calculations for transport of radiation. In this thesis absorbed dose and fluence in different radiotherapy applications were calculated by using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. READ MORE

6. 4. Techniques for the increased utilization of dose response variability in proton therapy

   Author : Erik Almhagen; Anders Ahnesjö; Alexandru Dasu; Nina Tilly; Oliver Jäkel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RBE; Radiobiology; Proton Therapy; Dose Painting; Head and Neck Cancer; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Particle therapy is a form of radiation therapy in which protons and heavier ions are used, as opposed to photons in conventional radiation therapy. The biological effectiveness of particles compared to photons is often quantified as relative biological effectiveness (RBE). READ MORE

7. 5. Ion recombination in liquid ionization chambers : development of an experimental method to quantify general recombination

   Author : Jonas Andersson; Heikki Tölli; Lennart Johansson; Anders Ahnesjö; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; General recombination; initial recombination; liquid ionization chamber; radiation dosimetry; radiofysik; radiation physics;

   Abstract : An experimental method (the two-dose-rate method) for the correction of general recombination losses in liquid ionization chambers has been developed and employed in experiments with different liquids and radiation qualities. The method is based on a disassociation of initial and general recombination, since an ionized liquid is simultaneously affected by both of these processes. READ MORE
