Application of an automated dose accumulation workflow in high-risk prostate cancer - validation and dose-volume analysis between planned and delivered dose (2021)
Journal Article

Inter-fraction organ variations cause deviations between planned and delivered doses in patients receiving radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This study compared planned (DP) vs accumulated doses (DA) obtained from daily cone-beam computed tomography...

X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography for full breast mastectomy imaging at the Australian Synchrotron (2021)
Presentation / Conference

One of the imaging modalities offered by the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) at the Australian Synchrotron is Xray phase-contrast propagation-based computed tomography (PB-CT). The unique combination of high coherence and high brightness of radia... Read More about X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography for full breast mastectomy imaging at the Australian Synchrotron.

Effect of x-ray energy on the radiological image quality in propagation-based phase-contrast computed tomography of the breast (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in developing and developed countries and is responsible for 15% of women’s cancer deaths worldwide. Conventional absorption-based breast imaging techniques lack sufficient contrast for compre...

X-ray Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography for Soft Tissue Imaging at the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) of the Australian Synchrotron (2021)
Journal Article

The Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) is a superconducting multipole wiggler-based beamline at the 3 GeV Australian Synchrotron operated by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). The beamline delivers hard X-rays in the... Read More about X-ray Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography for Soft Tissue Imaging at the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) of the Australian Synchrotron.

Propagation-Based Phase-Contrast CT of the Breast Demonstrates Higher Quality Than Conventional Absorption-Based CT Even at Lower Radiation Dose (2021)
Journal Article

Rationale and Objectives Propagation-based phase-contrast CT (PB-CT) is an advanced X-ray imaging technology that exploits both refraction and absorption of the transmitted X-ray beam. This study was aimed at optimizing the experimental conditions o...
