- Colin Schaeffer presented: “Spectra Optimization and Material Comparison for Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography using CdTe and GaAs Photon Counting-Detectors“
- Megan Glassell presented “Validation of Peak Skin Dose Calculator using an OSL Dosimeter Array“
UF Medical Physics was well-represented by our faculty, residents, and students, many of whom gave excellent presentations:
- Dr Stephanie Leon, Assistant Professor, presented: “The Helical CTDI: How, When and Why?“
- Dr Frank Bova, Professor, presented: “Diagnostic and Therapeutic Physics: The Line is Disappearing“
- Camilo Correa, PhD Candidate, presented “Development of intra-brain vascular models within the Mesh-Type Adult Reference Phantom for Dose Assessments in Radiopharmaceutical Therapy“
- Ana Heshmat, PhD Candidate, presented “Contrast Thresholds for Detection of Various Iodine Concentrations in Subtraction CT and Dual Energy CT Systems“
- TJ Moretti, PhD Student, presented “Automated Assessment of PET Image Quality via the NEMA IEC Body Phantom“
- Wen-Chih Tseng, PhD Student, presented “A Fast Deep-learning-based Dose Calculator for Prostate VMAT via Knowledge Distillation“
- Jingxi Weng, PhD Student, presented “Deep Learning Based Cine-MRI Image Prediction in the Abdomen
