In a global social divide between modern and traditional, medicine has fallen into two sides.

The availability of transportation has a great impact on how we move in our everyday lives and on the larger flows of people and goods. Transport planning, then, has the potential to greatly alter levels of mobility and accessibility. Looking at transportation in a cross-border context highlights this potential even further, but also brings additional barriers and points to consider. Examining thi

Background/Purpose: The aperture shape controller (ASC) was introduced in the Eclipse treatment planning system to reduce plan complexity by counteracting irregular multileaf collimator (MLC) shapes. This should lead to decreased difference between the planned and measured dose distribution. The ASC was investigated to examine if it could limit plan complexity so that the planned and measured dose

The AI utilizes so called influencers for initial delineation of the targets and organs at risks (OAR) usin
