Medical rings, often referred to as marker bands, play a vital role in the field of medical devices. These small yet essential components are usually crafted from metals such as gold, platinum, or their alloys, providing radiopaque properties that allow them to be seen in X-ray imaging. This visibility is crucial in many minimally invasive surgical procedures, including angioplasty, where ...

GammaTile Therapy is a safe and effective radiation option that requires no capital investment and eliminates the need for multiple treatment visits along with the associated transportation and caregiver burdens To provide targeted brain EBRT, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), treatment centers ...
Our Medical Director of the Oncology Breast Program, Dr. Beth DuPree, was first in the U.S. to adopt VeraForm, a continuous, radiopaque 3D tissue marker. Within months, its utility led to quick integration into our program’s standard daily practice. Like all centers today, patient satisfaction is a focal point and to date, we have seen no complications or toxicities by any criteria (e.g., ...
The research summarized in this whitepaper provides a number of examples of how ALZET® pumps offer a superior pre-clinical drug dosing option for the delivery of a wide array of anti-cancer agents, including small molecules, immunotherapies, radiotherapies, combination treatments, and novel drug entities. This whitepaper also explores how ALZET® pumps ...
This study was designed to investigate the clinical significance of low-dose radiation therapy, radiation hormesis, and accuracy of therapeutic regimen. Radiation hormesis was performed in six patients (four patients with malignant diseases and two patients with benign diseases) in the experimental room where they could be exposed to a low level of direct gamma ray and inhale radon gas ...
In this paper, we present data from exposed human patients, showing that a simple assay using blood can demonstrate variation in the extent and type of non-targeted effects and that exposure to radiation can modulate the subsequent non-targeted response to a later dose. Patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment for cancer gave blood samples immediately after the ...
