Introduction
Improving the welfare of mankind through the application of scientific and engineering principles has always been my childhood fantasy. Throughout my academic journey, I have taken series of steps to make this dream a reality. I am currently on a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship undertaking my PhD in Bioengineering at University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Purpose In vivo dosimetry is a quality assurance tool that provides post-treatment measurement of the absorbed dose as delivered to the patient. This dosimetry compares the prescribed and measured dose delivered to the target volume. In this study, a tissue-equivalent water phantom provided the simulation of the human environment. The skin and entr...

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging methodology that uses blood as an endogenous contrast agent to quantify flow. One limitation of this method of capillary blood quantification when applied in the lung is the contribution of signals from non‐capillary blood. Intensity thresholding is one approach that has be...
