| | 1 | '''Minutes''': |
| | 2 | Meeting to discuss literature review |
| | 3 | * Update on project - how far has it gotten? |
| | 4 | * Lots of hiccups |
| | 5 | * Colleagues in Munich are further along and have done experiments using small water phantom - 10cm |
| | 6 | * KL will send AML and VL papers |
| | 7 | * Updated direction of project |
| | 8 | * SmartPhantom design is going to change -> make it smaller |
| | 9 | * Advantages of collaboration with Munich: Not constrained to sample dishes at MedAustron |
| | 10 | * Need to understand acoustic signal better |
| | 11 | * Josie has learnt Topas |
| | 12 | * VL and AML will be designing and building scintillating fibre & sticking in beam |
| | 13 | * Main thing is the ionacoustic and scintillating fibre |
| | 14 | * Old instrumentation is scrapped |
| | 15 | * How would we wind a smaller (1cm x 1cm) fibre plan |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | * Literature review advice from KL |
| | 18 | * Compare and contrast of other techniques people have used - MRI, prompt photon??, using proton tomography |
| | 19 | * Proton beam therapy - but not too much as it's well known |
| | 20 | * Understand differential equations of energy deposited through ionisation, spreading of beam through multiple scattering, deposited instantaneously, sound propagation differential equation (k-Wave does this - but should have better intuition without needing k-Wave e.g. write some code in Python) |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | Next steps: |
| | 23 | * KL, JMcG, MM, AML, VL will meet at start of term, i.e., 3rd or 4th October |
| | 24 | * AML and VL can email KL with questions until then |
