An evaluation of systematic errors on marker-based registration of computed tomography and magnetic resonance images of the liver.

We demonstrated a general method to evaluate systematic errors related to Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging sequences in marker-based co-registration of MR and Computed Tomography (CT) images, and investigated the effect of MR image quality in the co-registration process using clinical MR and CT protocols for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) planning of the liver. Small systematic errors (under 1.6 mm) were detected, unlikely to be a clinical risk to liver SABR.

Ordered Carboxylates on TiO(110) Formed at Aqueous Interfaces.

As models for probing the interactions between TiO surfaces and the dye molecules employed in dye-sensitized solar cells, carboxylic acids are an important class of molecules. In this work, we present a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) study of three small carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, and benzoic) that were reacted with the TiO(110) surface via a dipping procedure. The three molecules display quite different adsorption behavior, illustrating the different interadsorbate interactions that can occur.
