The aim of this study was to develop a specific simulation program for the validation of a cytotoxic compounding robot, KIRO® Oncology, for the preparation of sterile monoclonal antibodies and anti-infectious drugs. The impact of excipient formulatio...
Performing quality control to detect image artifacts and data-processing errors is crucial in structural magnetic resonance imaging, especially in developmental studies. Currently, many studies rely on visual inspection by trained raters for quality ...
PURPOSE: Few features characterizing the dosimetric properties of the patients are included in currently available dose-volume histogram (DVH) prediction models, making it intractable to build a correlative relationship between the input and output p...
PURPOSE: Patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a ubiquitous clinical procedure, but conventional methods have often been criticized as being insensitive to errors or less effective than other comm...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using a single-institution, knowledge-based planning (KBP) model as a dosimetric plan quality control (QC) for multi-institutional clinical trials. The efficacy of this QC tool was retrospectiv...

The bacterial strains SEMIA 587 and 5019 (Bradyrhizobium elkanii), 5079 (Bradyrhizobium japonicum), and 5080 (Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens) are recommended for soybean inoculants in Brazil. In several countries, the current regulations are insuffici...
PURPOSE: Sparsely sampled computed tomography (CT) has been attracting attention as a technique that can reduce the high radiation dose of conventional CT. In general, iterative reconstruction techniques have been applied to sparsely sampled CT to re...
Quality control (QC) of brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) is an important process requiring a significant amount of manual inspection. Major artifacts, such as severe subject motion, are easy to identify to naïve observers but lack automated iden...
The effectiveness of a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scan depends on the ability of the operator to correctly tune the acquisition parameters to the subject being scanned and on the potential occurrence of imaging artifacts, such as cardiac...
