Abstract

To verify the accuracy of a real time optical surface tracking system using a practical annual quality assurance program with an anthropomorphic breast phantom. An anthropomorphic breast phantom was used to determine the accuracy of registration, shift, source to surface distance (SSD), and live monitoring features of the AlignRT system. Both the two and three camera AlignRT systems were tested. Registration and shift accuracy were evaluated by comparing software output with known phantom displacements and rotations at 0, 90, and 270 couch angles. These tests were performed in static capture and live monitoring modes. SSD accuracy was determined by comparing AlignRT results with expected values from the treatment planning system and optical distance indicator at 0, 90, and 270 degree couch rotations. For the two camera system, registration accuracy at 0, 90, and 270 degree couch angles was within 1.0mm in the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions and 0.04 degree. For shifts of +/-10mm and +/-5 degree, static mode shift accuracy was within 1.6mm and 0.23 degree. Registration accuracy of the shifted phantom in live monitoring mode was within 1.7mm and 0.2 degree. For the three camera system, registration accuracy at 0, 9...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
