14:10-14:30 Fun facts 2) presented by Shannon Kolind

14:30-14:50 Competition Part B

Connor Bevington PET image quality can be improved through an iterative, MRI-assisted denoising algorithm
Justin Poon Cardiac synchronized volumetric modulated arc therapy
Alexander Hart Activity Optimization of FDG PET
Cassandra Miller Beta and Alpha Imaging with 177Lu and 225Ac for Tumour Dosimetry
Swantje Moehle Detector based quality assurance for eye plaque brachytherapy.
Lorna Tu Faster myelin water imaging data analysis
Barry Bohnet Optimization of Sparse GRASE MRI for Prostate Cancer
Helena Koniar Assessing the Dosimetry and Biodistribution of Actinium-225 for Targeted Alpha Therapy
Aria Malhotra Predict and Prevent Skin Reactions from Radiation

Competition & Fun facts results
Concluding remarks

1) Cash (!) prizes will be handed out for the winners of the three minute thesis competition! Judging criteria can be found here.

2) To lighten the mood amongst the staunchly serious bunch of Medical Physicists (not sure what the group noun is, a force of Medical Physicists?), we will play a game of “Match the fun fact to the fun Medical Physicist”.
