OBJECTIVE: This article presents the development and validation of a new robotic system for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), characterized by a new control approach, and an ad-hoc calibration methodology, specifically devised for the TMS appl...
To detect gamma rays with good spatial, timing and energy resolution while maintaining high sensitivity we need accurate and efficient algorithms to estimate the first gamma interaction position from the measured light distribution. Furthermore, mono...

PURPOSE: In quantitative computed tomography (CT), manual selection of the intensity calibration phantom's region of interest is necessary for calculating density (mg/cm) from the radiodensity values (Hounsfield units: HU). However, as this manual pr...
Integrated-type proton computed tomography (pCT) measures proton stopping power ratio (SPR) images for proton therapy treatment planning, but its image quality is degraded due to noise and scatter. Although several correction methods have been propos...

PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can partially replace X-ray guidance in minimally invasive procedures, reducing radiation in the OR. However, in this hybrid setting, EMT is disturbed by metallic distortion caused by the X-ray device. We plan ...
BACKGROUND: Identifying patients who may develop severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will facilitate personalized treatment and optimize the distribution of medical resources.
A method for simultaneous laser profilometer and hand-eye calibration in relation to an industrial robot as well as its implementation is presented. In contrast to other methods, the new calibration procedure requires the measurement of only one refe...
To achieve a dose distribution conformal to the target volume while sparing normal tissues, intensity modulation with steep dose gradient is used for treatment planning. To successfully deliver such treatment, high spatial and dosimetric accuracy are...
