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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Role of Blood Cytokine Levels and Adiposity in Myocardial Infarction Recurrence
(2018-05)
Risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) are important as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. In fact, approximately one third of adults having an MI will have another in six years. The purpose of this ...
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 ...
A solution method determining the effect of spin upon gravitational effects in the surroundings of a black hole
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)
Using the theory of General Relativity and quasi-normal modes (QNMs) from the Teukolsky equation as a source of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from black holes provides information about black hole mass and spin. This ...
Perturbation of Circadian Neuronal Oscillators with Low-Intensity Magnetic Stimulation
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-23)
Circadian neuronal oscillatory dynamics are perturbed substantially in numerous neuropsychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and depression. Moreover, desynchronization of neuronal oscillators complicates ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
