Characterization of the ALPIDE chip with Helium-4 ions for Proton Computed Tomography
(Master thesis, 2018-12-06)Particle therapy has become an appealing therapeutic option for patients with various tumor types. The physical properties of charged particles allow for an improved dose distribution conformality compared to conventional ... -
Characterization of the ALPIDE Detector with Proton Beams for the Development of a Prototype Computed Tomography Machine at the University of Bergen
(Master thesis, 2018-07-04)In conventional radio therapy, photons is used in the treatment. Treatment with protons, however, greatly reduce the energy which is deposited in healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. The aim for the pCT group at the ... -
Ethernet-Based Control System and Data Readout for a Proton Computed Tomography Prototype
(Master thesis, 2018-06-23)At the University of Bergen (UiB), work is underway to develop a proton based computed tomography prototype. Proton CT (pCT) is an alternative to photonbased imaging that shows great promise as a technology for use in ... -
Noise and Cluster Size Studies of ALPIDE-CMOS Pixel Sensor for pCT
(Master thesis, 2018-07-04)The use of proton beam has been introduced in medical physics for therapeutic purposes in cancer treatment and it has been proven much more efficient than conventional X-ray. Treatment planning in proton therapy is usually ... -
A Numerical Study of Empty Nose Syndrome: an Evaluation of Nasal Aerodynamics
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a rare complication of nasal surgery done to enlarge the internal nasal channels. The feeling of nasal obstruction despite patency is one of the most common symptoms among ENS patients. This ...
