SU‐E‐T‐277: Hypothesis and Design of an Integrated X‐Ray/Bioluminescent Imaging (BLI) and Tomography (BLT) System for the Study of Radiation and Treatment in Small Animals

PURPOSE: Design and construct an integrated x-ray/bioluminescent tomography (BLT) system (with BLT being our initial focus) that can function as a standalone research apparatus and also on-board the SARRP to guide focal irradiation. In addition, it is aimed to enhance the BLT of the system to improve target localization by incorporating multi-projection, multi-spectral BL images, as well as CT 'priors'. METHODS: The SARRP system integrates a …
