Python for Medical Physicists #1

September 30, 2015 · by Scott Crowe · in Coding Examples

Python is a programming language that is popular among scientists, including medical physicists. The radiation oncology medical physics group at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital have started a series of tutorials on the Python language. These will serve as an…

Keeping up with the literature

September 3, 2015 · by Scott Crowe · in Literature

Keeping up with the literature is an important part of research. Fortunately there are systems available to help with the process. Some of these systems are personalised: Google Scholar, for example, offers updates based on your citations. Those wishing to cast a…

Writing journal articles in LaTeX

May 13, 2015 · by Scott Crowe · in Documentation

LaTeX is a system for typesetting documents widely used within the sciences and academia for preparing books and articles. The LaTeX workflow involves the compilation of documents containing markup commands into postscript or PDF files, and so is more complicated…

Blinding in Sham Radiation Therapy

February 17, 2015 · by Scott Crowe · in Radiation Therapy

The use of clinical trials in the development of new treatment techniques (pharmaceutical or otherwise) is a necessary step in demonstrating the efficacy of that treatment. The gold standard for testing new techniques is the randomised controlled trial, where participants are…

Parsing DOSXYZnrc results

August 14, 2014 · by Scott Crowe · in Coding Examples

The results of a DOSXYZnrc simulation are stored in *.3ddose files containing the following blocks: the number of voxels in the x, y and z dimensions, the voxel boundary positions (cm) in the x dimension, the voxel boundary positions (cm)…

CT Density Tables

July 2, 2014 · by Scott Crowe · in Diagnostic Imaging

The use of CT data within a planning system necessitates a conversion from the Hounsfield scale, with units (HU) describing the radiodensity of the imaged tissue (compared to water, for X-ray energies), into density values, which the planning system can…

Taken from the Queanbeyan Age, published 5th September 1896. Source here. Day after day brings new evidence of the utility of the Rontgen X-rays in surgery. This week, the Rev. D. Laseron, of Lithgow, paid a visit to St. Stanislaut College, Bathurst,…

X Forwarding with Cygwin

X Forwarding with Cygwin

March 1, 2014 · by Scott Crowe · in Monte Carlo Simulation

I used the EGSnrc/BEAMnrc/DOSXYZnrc Monte Carlo simulation codes during my doctoral and post-doctoral work at QUT. This involved the use of QUT’s High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities. I’ve previously written about setting up EGSnrc on that system here. A number…
