Defensa Tesis de Magister - Sr. Juan Leal
El Viernes 20 de Junio se realizo de manera exitosa la defensa de Magister en Fisica Medica, en modalidad de doble grado con la Universidad de Heidelberg, Alemania, del Sr. Juan Leal, tesis titulada "First investigations on a new method for monitoring of basic parameters of therapeutic carbon ion beams using a flat panel EPID", bajo la direccion de la Dra. Bernadette Hartmann (Universidad de Heidelberg). La comision evaluadora estuvo integrada por las profesoras Dra. Beatriz Sanchez y Dra. Paola Caprile, integrantes del grupo de Fisica Medica de la PUC. Esta defensa tuvo lugar en el Heidelberg Center para Latinoamerica (Providencia, Santiago).

Abstract: In this work, the objective was to monitor basic ion beam parameters by means of detecting the fragments produced due to the interaction between Carbon ions and a cylindrical PMMA phantom. To do this, an Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) was used. Acquired images are the result of energy deposition from the remaining fragments of Carbon ions, after crossing the acrilic phantom.
