Journal ArticleDOI

Monte Carlo modeling in CT-based geometries: dosimetry for biological modeling experiments with particle beam radiation

TL;DR: The software developed and validated in this study represents a critically important new tool that allows integration of computational and biological modeling for evaluating the biological outcomes of exposures to inhomogeneous SPE-like radiation dose distributions, and has potential applications for other environmental and therapeutic exposure simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lymphangitic carcinomatosis: A common radiographic manifestation of local failure following extended pleurectomy/decortication in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

TL;DR: LC is a common form of failure in MPM following EPD and is associated with a poor prognosis, and further studies are warranted to determine if any evidence of preoperative LC should be an absolute contraindication to E PD and may warrant an EPP or no surgery at all.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo Spectroscopic Evaluation of the Intraperitoneal Cavity in Canines.

TL;DR: Hemoglobin concentration, oxygenation and optical properties were determined to be highly heterogeneous between canines and at different anatomical locations within the same subject, so further development of PDT dosimetry systems will need to address this patient and location‐specific dose optimization.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A heterogeneous optimization algorithm for reacted singlet oxygen for interstitial PDT

TL;DR: The study shows that optimization of individual light source positions and intensities is feasible for the heterogeneous prostate during PDT.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Definitive surgery and intraoperative photodynamic therapy: a prospective study of local control and survival for patients with pleural dissemination of non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: This is the first ever report describing optimal methods, techniques, and dosimetry that could be used to safely and reproducibly deliver intraoperative PDT to the chest cavity as part of multimodality therapy for NSCLC with pleural metastasis.
