Our latest paper on dual-energy CT is featured on the cover of JMI! The figure shows off some of our simulated CT scans with severe metal artifacts. Read more: https://t.co/2lZ6T7XONs #SPIE_JMI#MedPhy@GenevaSchlafly
🚨 New paper alert! We assess dual-energy CT with both MV and kV spectra. If a radiotherapy system is already equipped with the two x-ray sources, can they be combined for improved imaging?

Congrats to Gia and Geneva from Patrick La Rivière's lab, who just published a paper on "Dual-energy computed tomography imaging with megavoltage and kilovoltage X-ray spectra"!

Our graduate students told me they really miss the Chicago winter and can't wait to get away from the perfect weather in San Diego (just kidding! They had a great time at SPIE and are sad to be leaving so soon).

Be sure to check out PhD candidate Hadley DeBrosse's talk today on "Comparing x-ray fluorescence emission tomography and computed tomography: contrast-to-noise ratios in a numerical mouse phantom". Happening today at 3:45 PM! #SPIEMedicalImaging@SPIEtweets
Folks at #SPIEMedicalImaging, stop by the physics conference today at noon to learn about our work on spectral x-ray phase-contrast imaging! @SPIEtweets
Today at 12:10 PM: PhD Candidate Giavanna Jadick will give a presentation on the "Cramér-Rao lower bound in the context of spectral X-ray imaging with propagation-
based phase contrast". Don't miss out! #SPIEMedicalImaging@SPIEtweets@giajadick
Looking forward to another great presentation today at #SPIE! PhD cand. Mena Shenouda will be talking about "The use of radiomics on computed tomography scans for differentiation of somatic BAP1 mutation status for patients with pleural mesothelioma" at 5:30 PM today!
Excited for #SPIEMedicalImaging? Join @UChicagoMedPhys PhD cand. Linnea Kremer at 5:30 PM today for her talk on "Temporal assessment of magnetic resonance imaging radiomic features to predict renal function decline in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease"
Interested in medical physics outreach? Read our story in the AAPM newsletter: from scrapping together demos using odd materials in our student lounge, to building university collaborations and desiging effective, hands-on lessons for the community. #medicalphysics#outreach
Education Council Report - One Graduate Program's Medical Physics Outreach Journey: pp. 39-42. Authors: Hadley DeBrosse, Gia Jadick. Each of us has a story about how we entered the field of Medical Physics. Some may have been fortunate to be enrolled at… https://t.co/cV496BcjT6
An awesome debut for our new medical physics outreach demonstrations! Featured here: manual MLC beam-shaping to target play-doh tumors, our outreach-dedicated portable ultrasound with Doppler imaging, and a cloud chamber to view radiation.
Huge turnout this past weekend at the South Side Science Festival! We had an absolute blast and can't wait for next year. Thank you to our friends at @UChicagoRADS for helping us to put on some great demos.
It’s always a joy to share physics with others! Last week I played “radiation safety officer” with @UChicagoMedPhys, guiding CPS students through medical case studies using different imaging techniques. Thanks @LindblomEagles and @UCCancerCenter for a great outreach experience.
Another round of congratulations are due! This time to PhD students Gia and Chisondi, who have each received the Graduate Research Fellowship Program 2023 grant from the National Science Foundation!!
An exciting week at #SPIEMedicalImaging!
Second-year student @giajadick gave an excellent poster yesterday evening on “Optimization of MV-kV dual-energy CT imaging for tomographic therapy” 👏🏼
We had the absolute pleasure of hosting physics teachers from @ChiPubSchools this week! Our graduate students gave presentations relating the CPS waves unit to medical physics, and the teachers also saw the research happening here. Thank you teachers, we love you and physics!
We had so much fun this past weekend, giving demonstrations for Physics with a Bang!. Thank you to all of the volunteers, and especially to the D&O Committee for organizing our exhibits!
