Purpose: Multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) poses a challenge in proton CT (pCT) image reconstruction. The assumption of straight paths is replaced with Bayesian models of the most likely path (MLP). Current MLP-based pCT reconstruction…
Purpose: To develop a Monte Carlo (MC) therapeutic dose calculation toolkit of a recently released ring gantry linac in Geant4 (Version 10.7) for secondary dose validation of radiotherapy plan. Methods: For the Halcyon (Varian Medical…
The quasi-random discrete ordinates method (QRDOM) is here proposed for the approximation of transport problems. Its central idea is to explore a quasi Monte Carlo integration within the classical source iteration technique. It preserves…
The non-equilibrium high-speed compressible flows present wealthy applications in engineering and science. With the deepening of Thermodynamic Non-Equilibrium (TNE), higher-order non-conserved kinetic moments of the distribution function…
In this paper we investigate, with a detailed Monte-Carlo simulation based on Geant4, the novel approach [Nucl. Instrum. Methods A588 (2008) 457] to 3D imaging with photon scattering. A monochromatic and well collimated gamma beam is used…
We report on using a laser Doppler processing of Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) data for the assessment of pulsatile blood flow in the choriocapillaris. Signal fluctuations in B-scans recorded at 2 kHz were analyzed by…
Fast dose calculation is critical for online and real time adaptive therapy workflows. While modern physics-based dose algorithms must compromise accuracy to achieve low computation times, deep learning models can potentially perform dose…
As part of a consortium between academic and industry, this PhD work investigates the interest and capabilities of organic photo-sensors (OPS) for the optical characterization of suspensions and two-phase flows. The principle of new optical…
Sub-nanometer and nanometer-sized tips provide high coherence electron sources. Conventionally, the effective source size is estimated from the extent of the experimental biprism interference pattern created on the detector by applying the…
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) utilizes coplanar synchrotron radiation beamlets and is a proposed treatment approach for several tumour diagnoses that currently have poor clinical treatment outcomes, such as gliosarcomas. Prescription…
A single photon source is a key enabling technology in device-independent quantum communication, quantum simulation for instance boson sampling, linear optics-based and measurement-based quantum computing. These applications involve many…
Inter-observer variation is a significant problem in clinical target volume(CTV) segmentation in postoperative settings, where there is no gross tumor present. In this scenario, the CTV is not an anatomically established structure, but one…
We have observed strong photoluminescence from a single CdSe quantum dot embedded in a ZnSe nanowire. Exciton, biexciton and charged exciton lines have been identified unambiguously using photon correlation spectroscopy. This technique has…
The linear Boltzmann model for proton beams is a six-dimensional partial differential equation (PDE). We propose a deterministic solver for the linear Boltzmann model based on scattering decomposition and depth-splitting methods. The main…
This dissertation relates to the transition of the state of the art of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) systems to a new realm in which the image acquisition speed is improved by an order of magnitude. With the aid of a…
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations provide gold-standard accuracy for carbon ion therapy dose calculations but are computationally intensive. Analytical pencil beam algorithms offer speed but reduced accuracy in heterogeneous tissues. We…
Dose volume histograms are a useful tool in state-of-the-art radiotherapy planning, and it is essential to be aware of their limitations. Dose distributions computed by treatment planning systems are affected by several sources of…
Multi-source static Computed Tomography (CT) systems have introduced novel opportunities for adaptive imaging techniques. This work presents an innovative method of fluence field modulation using spotlight collimators. These instruments…
Noninvasive, non-contact and \textit{in vivo} monitoring of blood glucose is a long needed pathology tool for saving patients from recurring pain and hassle that can accompany conventional blood glucose testing methods. Optical coherence…
The purpose of this work is to provide a fast and accurate scatter artifacts correction algorithm for cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging. The method starts with an estimation of coarse scatter profiles for a set of CBCT data in either image domain…
