Relationship between electron density and effective densities of body tissues for stopping, scattering, and nuclear interactions of proton and ion beams
Nobuyuki Kanematsu, Taku Inaniwa, and Yusuke Koba
Purpose: In treatment planning of charged-particle radiotherapy, patient heterogeneity is conventionally modeled as variable-density water converted from CT images to best reproduce the stopping power, which may lead to inaccuracies in the handling of multiple scattering and nuclear interactions. ...
Spectral analysis of mammographic images using a multitaper method
Gang Wu, James G. Mainprize, and Martin J. Yaffe
Purpose: Power spectral analysis in radiographic images is conventionally performed using a windowed overlapping averaging periodogram. This study describes an alternative approach using a multitaper technique and compares its performance with that of the standard method. This tool will be valuable in ...
A novel technique to enable experimental validation of deformable dose accumulation
Carolyn J. Niu, Warren D. Foltz, Michael Velec et al.
Purpose: To propose a novel technique to experimentally validate deformable dose algorithms by measuring 3D dose distributions under the condition of deformation using deformable gel dosimeters produced by a novel gel fabrication method.

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.
