In the presence of intra-fraction organ motion, target localization uncertainty can hamper the advantage of using highly conformal dose techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Real-time internal target position estimation is of high interest in radiotherapy, particularly with the recent development of robotic, linear accelerator, DMLC and couch-based systems which can continuously align the radiation beam with the target.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable particle accelerator – the SLAC Piezoelectric Accelerator Neutron Source (SPAN). When combined with an ion source and a deuterated target, this piezoelectric, high-voltage generator makes a compact neutron generator system.
Stanford researchers at SLAC have designed a multi-frequency klystron that achieves efficiencies higher than conventional single frequency klystrons and simultaneously delivers substantial power at higher harmonic(s).
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel scheme of treatment planning and delivery of radiation therapy, termed station parameter optimized radiation therapy, or SPORT.
A team of Stanford researchers have identified a novel small molecule that could be used in vivo or ex vivo to enrich for submandibular salivary gland (SMG) stem cell (SC).
Engineers in Prof. Butrus Khuri-Yakub's laboratory have developed a patented, simple, cost efficient, CMUT (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers) fabrication process with incomparable precision and performance.
Researcher in Prof. Lei Xing's laboratory have developed an improved method for Monitor Unit ("MU") calculations in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and efficient method for Monitor Unit ("MU") calculation for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Researchers in the Ginzton lab at Stanford University have patented an all-dielectric laser-driven microstructure for producing controllable charged particle beam.
