Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.9K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

State Space Representation

The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Band Theory

17.2K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.
Conductor, Semiconductor,...

Social Exchange Theory

40.8K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Attribution Theory

13.8K
Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Composite treatment plans from Deformable Image Registration (DIR) present challenges in accurately representing anatomical uncertainties.
  • Current DIR verification relies on geometrical checks, leaving soft tissues with high uncertainty due to limited image features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply Fuzzy Set theory for accurate dose representation in composite treatment plans, addressing uncertainties that vary with anatomy.
  • To develop a method for quantifying and visualizing locality-based uncertainties in composite dose plans.

Main Methods:

  • Fuzzification of the deformation vector using Gaussian functions based on varying uncertainties in DIR.
  • Derivation of a Fuzzy composite dose from the fuzzified deformation vector.
  • Implementation and proof-of-concept demonstration using 2D and 3D examples.

Main Results:

  • Successfully created composite dose plans with locality-based uncertainties using Fuzzy Set theory.
  • Provided clinicians with previously unavailable information regarding confidence in composite dose plan accuracy.
  • Demonstrated the ability to determine safe additional doses to treated anatomy based on fuzzified dose presentations.

Conclusions:

  • Fuzzy Set theory offers a robust method for quantifying uncertainties in DIR-based composite treatment plans.
  • Fuzzified composite dose presentations enhance clinical decision-making, potentially increasing treatment success rates and reducing complications.
