Medical devices are incredibly important in today’s world. They play a significant role in the treatment and prevention of various medical conditions. ...
The following patient case demonstrates the application of Adaptiiv’s technology used in clinical radiation oncology through the design and fabrication of customized bolus to improve the efficacy of treating complex target volumes with electron beams. This case is a great example of how a custom modulated electron bolus (MEB) allowed for a uniform dose distribution of a complex treatment ...

The aim of the study is to assess the health status of Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant personnel in association with their occupational exposure to low doses of ionising radiation (IR) as well as with other factors of their working environment and to determine the probability of the occupational exposure to be a reason for the diagnosed malignant diseases (Probability of Causation ...
This paper describes the studies that were carried out to establish the available resources of the hospitals situated near to Bulgarian NPP 'Kozloduy' to perform medical treatment of casualties in mass radiation accidents. Special attention has been paid to evaluate the possibility to perform first aid and triage to the victims, radiation ...
The digital phantom presented in this paper was simulated based on a 38-year-old reference man, with height and weight similar to the reference man reported in the International Committee of Radiation Protection (ICRP). A total of 222 345 voxels with regard to weight and density information were implemented in 45 cross-sections in the Monte-Carlo N-particle (MCNP) environment. ...
The non-cancer disease mortality (1950-1995) among 27 011 medical diagnostic X-ray workers was compared to that of 25 782 other medical specialists employed between 1950 and 1980 to provide evidence of human non-cancer disease death produced by protracted and fractionated exposure to ionising radiation and assess the resultant non-cancer disease ...
The calculations of organ dose, normalised to air KERMA free-in-air, were done for external exposures to photon radiation with energies between 10 and 200 keV. Three parallel beam sources were studied: anterior-posterior, left lateral and rotational. ...
This paper reviews some of the experience which the authors gained in the area of ICT based training in nuclear technology applications, it describes some of the challenges experienced, and some proposals to address the issues involved.Keywords: nuclear technology applications, information technology, communications, ICT based training, radiation oncology, ...
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). ...
