INITIAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCE OF STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIATION THERAPY (SBRT) FOR LIVER METASTASES, PRIMARY LIVER MALIGNANCY, AND PANCREATIC CANCER WITH 4D-MRI BASED ONLINE ADAPTATION AND REAL-TIME MRI MONITORING USING A 1.5 TESLA MR-LINAC.

Initial clinical experience of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for liver metastases, primary liver malignancy, and pancreatic cancer with 4D-MRI based online adaptation and real-time MRI monitoring using a 1.5 Tesla MR-Linac.

Purpose/objectivesRecently a 1.5 Tesla MR Linac has been FDA approved and is commercially available.Clinical series describing treatment methods and outcomes for upper abdominal tumors using a 1.5 Tesla MR Linac are lacking.We present the first clinical series of upper abdominal tumors treated using a 1.5 Tesla MR Linac along with the acquisition o

Foreign Body Response to Intracortical Microelectrodes Is Not Altered with Dip-Coating of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a frequently used polymer for neural implants due to its biocompatible property.As a follow-up to our recent study that used PEG for stiffening flexible neural probes, we have evaluated the biological implications of using devices dip-coated with PEG for chronic neural implants.Mice (wild-type and CX3CR1-GFP) received

Modelling the appearance of heritage metallic surfaces

Polished metallic surfaces exhibit a high degree of specularity, which makes them elbeco adu ripstop pants difficult to reproduce accurately.We have applied two different techniques for modelling a heritage object known as the Islamic handbag.Photogrammetric multi-view stereo enabled a dense point cloud to be extracted from a set of photographs wit
