Particle motion and sound propagation near boundaries
(2019-07-09)
It has been well-established that the inner ears of fishes act as particle motion detectors (Popper and Hawkins, 2018) and that fishes use particle motion to determine the direction of a sound source (Hawkins and Popper, ...
Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Prostate Radiotherapy for Improved Treatment Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)
External beam radiation therapy is among the most common modalities of curative treatment for prostate cancer and has evolved substantially with the inclusion of multimodality imaging in treatment planning. It has been ...
FETUS PHANTOM CONSTRUCTIONS FOR OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE PREGNANT FEMALES FOR RADIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2019-06-07)
Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for pregnant patients in general, and in particular for overweight and obese pregnant patients who undergo diagnostic imaging or ...
Generation of Pseudo-CT using Two Sets of MRI Scans for MRI-only Radiation Therapy
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-16)
WWith increasing interests in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiation therapy (RT) and the emergence of MRI system integrated with the linear accelerator, a method substituting the computed tomography (CT) in ...
Fast Carbon-Ion and Proton Induced Electron Emission from Condensed-Phase Biological Targets
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-23)
Fast charged particles interact with matter through various ionization and excitation pathways that aren't fully understood. Predicting the effects of these interactions is vital in many fields such as radiation therapy, ...
Realistic optical cell modeling and diffraction imaging simulation for study of optical and morphological parameters of nucleus
(2016-01)
Coherent light scattering presents complex spatial patterns that depend on morphological and molecular features of biological cells. We present a numerical approach to establish realistic optical cell models for generating ...
Mutation of tandem repeats in fibrin's alpha-C region
(East Carolina University, 2018-01-19)
Cardiovascular problems such as myocardial infarctions and emboli are the number one killers in the United States. These health concerns arise from blood clotting unnecessarily in the veins or arteries. Studies have shown ...
Quantitative analysis and comparison of 3D morphology between viable and apoptotic MCF-7 breast cancer cells and characterization of nuclear fragmentation
(2017-09-08)
Morphological changes in apoptotic cells provide essential markers for defining and detection
of apoptosis as a fundamental mechanism of cell death. Among these changes, the
nuclear fragmentation and condensation have ...
uantitative characterization of turbidity by radiative transfer based reflectance imaging
(2018-04-04)
A new and noncontact approach of multispectral reflectance imaging has been developed to inversely determine the absorption coefficient of μ a , the scattering coefficient of μs and the anisotropy factor g of a turbid ...
PROFILING EFFUSION CELLS BY QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGY AND DIFFRACTION IMAGING PATTERNS
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-12)
Profiling cells in human pleural and peritoneal effusion (PPE) samples is an essential task for cytological diagnosis of cancers and patient management. Conventional PPE cytology of a PPE sample is labor intensive and its ...
