Using MRI to measure position and anatomy changes and assess their impact on the accuracy of hyperthermia treatment planning for cervical cancer

Purpose: We studied the differences between planning and treatment position, their impact on the accuracy of hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) predictions, and the relevance of including true treatment anatomy and position in HTP based on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Materials and methods: All volunteers were scanned with an MR...

Enabling High Performance Posit Arithmetic Applications Using Hardware Acceleration

The demand for higher precision arithmetic is increasing due to the rapid development of new computing paradigms. The novel posit number representation system, as introduced by John L. Gustafson, claims to be able to provide more accurate answers to mathematical problems with equal or less number of bits compared to the well-established IEEE 754...

Google Timeline Geolocation Accuracy

Google Location History Timeline could be used in the future to track mobile devices of users with a Google account. The Department of Forensic Digital Technology in the Netherlands Forensic Institute might consider using it as available data for evidence in its investigations. A part of this research is to assess the accuracy of the locations...
