Radiation: Applications

1.9K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

7.8K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

535
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.4K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy
  • Radiogenomics

Background:

  • Collaborative research in radiotherapy, such as the international radiogenomics consortium, requires effective tools for managing treatment planning data.
  • Existing methods for reviewing radiotherapy data can be cumbersome and may not be web-based.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the architecture and prototype characteristics of a web-based radiotherapy viewer.
  • To develop a tool that facilitates the review of treatment planning information for collaborative studies.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraged CERR for DICOM/RTOG data import and conversion to RT objects.
  • Stored scan and dose distributions as .png files, with locations in a MySQL database.
  • Developed a web application using HTML5 and Ruby on Rails (RoR) with ImageMagick for visualization.

Main Results:

  • A prototype system, RIVIEW, was developed and tested using lung cancer patient data.
  • The system successfully made scans, doses, structures, and DVHs for 10 patients available via the web interface.
  • Five user accounts were created for accessing the study data.

Conclusions:

  • A web-based system (RIVIEW) was prototyped to facilitate quality assurance, querying, retrieval, and visualization of radiotherapy data.
  • The RIVIEW system utilizes open-source technologies (MySQL, RoR) for accessibility and cost-effectiveness.
  • Future plans include extending RIVIEW for clinical trial data collection, outcomes research, and cohort plan review.
