Cone-Beam CT a Hot Topic
Michael Lovelock, PhD, medical physicist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York, presented his work using three-dimensional cone-
beam CT images -- generated using Varian's On-Board Imager (TM) device -- to
guide how patients are positioned for treatment when radiation is delivered to
very small targets within the body. in mechanical
engineering from North Carolina State University. He
served as the director of the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at
the University of Nevada, Reno, from 1996 to 2000.S.

New McGraw-Hill Fluid Mechanics Textbook draws on Fluent's CFD software and examples

The ability to use the
textbook and FlowLab in an interactive multimedia environment should
bring what can be a dry and mathematical subject to life with all the
vividness that fluid flow phenomena exhibit in both the natural world
and in the industrial arena. He is also the
author of the textbook Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach, 2nd
edition (2003), and the coauthor of the textbook Fundamentals of
Thermal- Fluid Sciences, 2nd edition (2005), both published by
McGraw -Hill.

cone -beam CT to improve the precision of radiotherapy treatments for various
types of cancer.
Fluid mechanics is recognized to have unlimited practical
applications ranging from microscopic biological systems to spacecraft
propulsion, yet the subject has historically been one of the most
challenging for undergraduate students. The text covers the basic principles
and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and
diverse real-world engineering examples.

Such a "dynamic compensation"
approach would enable treatments that respond to tumor motion in real time by
shaping and reshaping the radiation beams -- something that is not yet
possible in a commercially-available radiotherapy system. "The synergy created by
