Purpose To present the acceptance and the commissioning, to define the reference dose, and to prepare the reference data for a quality assessment (QA) program of an ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) electron device in order to validate it for preclinical animal FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH RT) experiments and for FLASH RT clinical human protocols. ...
In recent years, gold nanoparticles (GNP) have been proposed as sensitising agents in radiotherapy. Several studies, performed both through Monte Carlo simulation of dosimetric and microdosimetric enhancement in presence of GNPs and through in–vitro experiments, have clearly shown the powerfulness of such a technique in radiotherapy. Aim of the present work is to estimate the dose enhancement ...
With increased demand for low 103 Pd (palladium) seed sources, to treat prostate and eye cancers, new sources have been designed and introduced. This paper presents the two new palladium brachytherapy sources, IR03- 103 Pd and IR04- 103 Pd that have been developed at Agricultural, Medical & Industrial Research School . The dosimetric parameters, such as the dose rate constant Λ , ...
The present paper applies economic, mathematical, systemic, organisational, and technical principles to develop the automated registries. The obligatory application of effective directive materials and information technology standards is underlined. Every medical statistics study has to take into account the important issues of data acquisition, verification, storage, and processing. All these ...
Breast cancer has occurred in excess among women exposed briefly to atomic bomb radiation and among those exposed repeatedly over many years to medical radiation for tuberculosis (TB). The breast cancer excess is strongly dependent on age at exposure, with risk highest among the young and small or non-existent when exposure occurs past the menopausal ages. The linear excess relative risk ...
