In the medical community, X-rays are an important tool in imaging the human body. In principle X-ray images are 2 dimensional images. By measuring such X-ray images at multiple angles, one can construct the 3 dimensional inner structure of the sample. This 3 dimensional structure is created by applying …

The Pierre Auger group is studying ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are charged particles which permanently hit and penetrate the atmosphere of the Earth. They will at a certain moment collide with nuclei in the atmosphere, like nitrogen. The results of such an interaction are new particles, …

PRRT is a method of treatment that is used for a variety of diseases. In this method of treatment patient are infused with a radiopharmaceutical. This radiopharmaceutical will deliver a radiation dose to the specific targeted organ. However, due to infusion in the bloodstream other organs will also sustain …

The COMPASS system (IBADosimetry) is a quality assurance (QA) tool which reconstructs 3D doses inside a phantom or a patient CT. The dose is predicted according to the RT plan with a correction derived from 2D measurements of a matrix detector. This correction method is necessary since a direct reconstruction …
