Development of personalised optimisation of advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients with volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (2022)
Thesis
Tambe, N. S. Development of personalised optimisation of advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients with volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224655

Background and Aim of the study: Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK. A significant number of these patients are diagnosed with inoperable advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Until recently, the standard of care for these pat...

Optimisation of computed radiography chest imaging utilising a novel simulation technique derived from real patient computed tomography data sets (2011)
Thesis
Moore, C. S. Optimisation of computed radiography chest imaging utilising a novel simulation technique derived from real patient computed tomography data sets. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212879

To optimise any medical digital imaging system for chest radiography, it is vital that the images used for optimisation contain projected anatomy, or in other words, anatomical noise. In this thesis, a method to produce and validate a digitally recon...

The dual development of an optical tomographic scanner and three dimensional gel dosimeter for complex radiotherapy verification (2008)
Thesis
Heathcote, A. D. The dual development of an optical tomographic scanner and three dimensional gel dosimeter for complex radiotherapy verification. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208404

The state-of-the-art radiotherapy delivery treatments available today require that the intended dose distributions delivered are verified by volumetric gel dosimetry. The development of tissue equivalent gel dosimeters that provide an integrated asse...

Feasibility of selective multiple boosting in the planning of intracranial radiation therapy (2007)
Thesis
Walker, C. A. Feasibility of selective multiple boosting in the planning of intracranial radiation therapy. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208345

IMRT provides unprecedented means to sculpt radiation dose in three-dimensions, pledging potential to improve local disease control via conformal dose escalation as well as better normal tissue sparing via conformal avoidance. In this thesis, the fe... Read More about Feasibility of selective multiple boosting in the planning of intracranial radiation therapy.
