Design of a patient-tailored 3D-printed HDR brachytherapy applicator for the treatment of cervical cancer

Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy that is used to treat cervical cancer. It involves the application of a radioactive source in close proximity to the tumour. This can be done either by directly inserting the source into (or close to) the tumour using interstitial hollow needles, or by loading the source into an intracavitary...

Modeling of a System Camera to find the Effect of Marker Design on Motion Tracking Accuracy in Six Degrees of Freedom

Patient motion during an MR scan is still a problem in the medical field. It results in artefacts and reduces image quality which can lead to wrong patient outcomes. A patient moves due to the long scanning times, discomfort, and restlessness. Motion correction techniques are developed to prevent or compensate for the movements. Prospective...
