Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) calculator development for research and clinical activities
Radiation therapy is one of the most important tools in the fight against cancer. Generally, tumor control is mainly considered for treatment planning. However, radiation-induced side effects are considered as well. The NTCP is the probability of critical normal tissue having complications as calculated from the combined effect of the radiation dose and volume. Some normal tissue complications are very important for a normal quality of life after radiation therapy. The NTCP calculator is software developed at KI IT Convergence to calculate the NTCP with various methods in a clinical format, DICOM. The Lyman-Kutcher-Burman NTCP model is implemented with a flexible parameter input interface. The NTCP calculator will be used at local university hospitals for research and clinical purposes....read more

Effective functionalization of porous polymer fillers to enhance the CO2/N2 separation performance of mixed-matrix membranes
Prof. Bae’s group has developed a series of porous organic polymers possessing various functional groups, which were incorporated into an in-house polyimide to fabricate mixed-matrix membranes for CO2/N2 separation. Their systematic study revealed that both the structural properties and chemical functionality should be optimized together to obtained an ideal filler material for CO2-selective mixed-matrix membranes. The optimized membrane showed ultrahigh CO2 permeability of 2988 Barrers (158% higher than that of a pure polymer membrane) with a decent enhancement of the CO2/N2 selectivity....read more
