Hackemack, Michael Wayne (2013-04-15)With the ever-increasing demands of the nuclear power community to extend fuel cycles and overall core-lifetimes in a safe and economic manner, it is becoming more necessary to extend the working knowledge of nuclear fuel ...
-
Vega, Richard Manuel (2013-12-10)The United States consumes almost half of all medical isotopes produced worldwide, and relies on foreign sources for nearly its entire supply. These isotopes are produced in nuclear reactors which are very costly to ...
-
Cantrell, Tyler Lee (2015-05-06)The demand for radionuclides used in positron emission tomography (PET) must be met if the role for PET in Nuclear Medicine is to be expanded. The best method for supplying PET radionuclides to satellite PET facilities is ...
-
Zhou, Jingjie (2011-08-08)A novel Y-90 liquid brachytherapy strategy is currently being studied for the treatment of osteosarcoma using a preclinical translational model in dogs to assess its potential efficacy and toxicity. In this study, dosimetry ...
-
Patel, Pankaj M (2018-01-23)One of the primary reasons in vitro therapeutic models lack high levels of efficacy is the inability to accurately model the natural tumor environment. These models only incorporate homogenous tumor cells and lack the ...
-
Pulley, Marina Lee (2015-08-12)Micro-metastases are a significant problem in cancer therapy. These are cell clusters that can be found throughout the body, often arising from the primary tumor. They can go on to form radiologically discernable metastases. ...

Hamoui, Zaher Basel (2015-11-30)The present research advances the area of targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) by using nanoparticles as intrinsic carriers of radionuclides. In here we proposed the use of nuclear nanotechnologies where nanoparticle cores ...
-
Hansen, Jon (2014-04-22)Standard second-order self-adjoint forms of the transport equation, such as the even-parity, odd-parity, and self-adjoint angular flux equation, cannot be used in voids. Perhaps more importantly, they experience numerical ...
-
Madsen, Jonathan R (2013-08-13)The present state of modeling radio-induced effects at the cellular level neglects to account for the microscopic inhomogeneity of the nucleus from the non-aqueous contents by approximating the entire cellular nucleus as ...
-
Butters, Andrew Sterling (2017-05-09)This research project proposes to develop, integrate and characterize a nebulizer system for the nasal pulmonary delivery of radiopharmaceuticals in the form of aerosols containing nanoparticles for dynamic imaging studies ...
-
Martin, Thomas Michael (2017-08-03)The use of the alpha particle emitting radionuclide ²¹¹At for clinical therapy of primary and metastatic tumors via targeted methods is an attractive modality for increasing cancer management and survivability. While the ...
-
Bhakta, Viharkumar Satish (2011-10-21)The need of a stable production of At-211 is necessary to continue research in alpha-particle targeted radionuclide therapy. Our objectives were to establish the production of Astatine-211 at Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute, ...
-
Radiation Metrology of Small Animal Molecular Imaging and Molecular Radiotherapy Using mirco-PET/CT Douglas, Jordan Joseph (2018-05-08)Genetically engineered animal models of diseases are increasingly recapitulating human diseases. With this, in vivo preclinical imaging of small laboratory animals has emerged as a critical component of biomedical research ...
-
Lou, Jijie (2014-12-17)Amino acids are basic components of proteins and play a critical role in the development and treatment of chronic diseases. Raman spectroscopy, as a non-destructive tool with little sample preparation, has been widely used ...
-
Kong, Tae Young (2016-08-04)The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a revision of the existing system of radiation protection regulations with respect to ICRP Publication 103. It is expected that there will be a change in the ...
-
Carson, Mallory E (2014-07-09)Gold nanoparticles have become a growing field of study in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Several articles have shown that gold nanoparticles have the capacity to enhance the absorbed dose in localized tissue; however, ...
-
Lao, Dapeng (2012-07-16)Recently, the limited-angle TOF-PET system has become an active topic mainly due to the considerable reduction of hardware cost and potential applicability for performing needle biopsy on patients while in the scanner. ...
