Robust and efficient methods for proton computed tomography.
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a recent promising imaging modality with the goal of generating accurate 3D maps of relative stopping power (RSP) with respect to water. Since the early developments of this imaging technique in 1970's, there have been significant improvements regarding the …

Proton Computed Tomography: a novel calibration approach for proton treatment planning
Proton therapy is a cutting-edge radiotherapy modality offering superior dose localization and reduced damage to healthy tissues, made possible by the unique physical characteristics of protons. Accurate prediction of proton range during treatment planning is critical to its success. However, …

Proton Computed Tomography: Matrix Data Generation Through General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit Reconstruction
<p>Proton computed tomography (pCT) is an image modality that will improve treatment planning for patients receiving proton radiation therapy compared with the current techniques, which are based on X-ray CT. Images are reconstructed in pCT by solving a large and sparse system of linear equations. …

Design and automated testing of PCI express interface of proton computed tomography detectors.
Throughout this thesis, I will propose a transmit-received-engine based logic design proposed by this thesis works at the PCI Express Transaction Layer in collaboration with Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs Integrated Block for PCI Express. By automated testing and results evaluation, the new design can speed …

Imaging Techniques for Proton Range Determination in Proton Therapy
<p>Proton therapy can achieve better sparing of normal tissues than the conventional photon radiation therapy due to proton’s Bragg Peak property. However, to unlock the full potential of protons, accurate prediction of in vivo proton stopping power ratio (SPR) is required for proton therapy …
