CT Based Computerized Identification and Analysis of Human Airways: A Review
Jiantao Pu et al.
As one of the most prevalent chronic disorders, airway disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In order to understand its underlying mechanisms and to enable assessment of therapeutic efficacy of a variety of possible interventions, noninvasive investigation of the airways in a large number of subjects is of great research interest. ...
Increasing the oscillation frequency of strong magnetic fields above 101 kHz significantly raises peripheral nerve excitation thresholds
Irving N. Weinberg et al.
Purpose: A time-varying magnetic field can cause unpleasant peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) when the maximum excursion of the magnetic field (ΔB) is above a frequency-dependent threshold level [P. Mansfield and P. R. Harvey, Magn. Reson. Med. 29, 746–758 (1993)]. ...
Breast radiotherapy in the prone position primarily reduces the maximum out-of-field measured dose to the ipsilateral lung
Stewart J. Becker et al.
Purpose: To quantify the potential advantages of prone position breast radiotherapy in terms of the radiation exposure to out-of-field organs, particularly, the breast or the lung. Several dosimetric studies have been reported, based on commercial treatment planning software (TPS). ...
Using Spatial Information About Recurrence Risk for Robust Optimization of Dose-Painting Prescription Functions
Edward T. Bender
Purpose: To develop a robust method for deriving dose-painting prescription functions using spatial information about the risk for disease recurrence. ...

2011 Joint AAPM/COMP Meeting
This meeting program begins on p. 3285 of the June issue.
X-Ray Computed Tomography: Advances in Image Formation
Medical Physics is pleased to publish online only a series of papers that were presented at The First International Meeting on Image Formation in X-ray Computed Tomography, June 6-9, 2010, Salt Lake City, Utah. This was a very successful international meeting that was conceived and organized by Frederic Noo, Ph.D. Papers that were accepted for publication through the peer review process have been posted here. These papers are not available in a print version, although authors can download the papers from the web site. This series of papers represents many aspects of the state-of-the-art science of x-ray computed tomography and is a valuable contribution to the state of knowledge in the science of computed tomography.
