Evaluation of the Dose Index using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography for Pediatric Patients
Purpose: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an indispensable procedure for accurate patient positioning during radiation therapy (RT) in many clinical cases. However, the patients get an additional dose using CBCT. This dose is neither therapeutic nor diagnostic.

ABSTRACT Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common but often underrecognized complication in ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, particularly among those with pre‐existing renal impairment. This study evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical impact of AKI in this high‐risk population.

Assessment of computed tomography dose index (CTDI) using the platform GEANT4/GATE
Abstract Absorbed dose during a CT exam can be estimated by the computed tomography dose index (CTDI). The aim of this study is to validate a simulated CTDI with measured data for a 16-slice CT system. To measure the CTDI we have used an ion chamber, electrometer and two Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) phantoms (head and body). GATE (GEANT4 Application

The Multiple Sclerosis Severity Allele rs10191329A and Cognitive Function: A UK Biobank Study
ABSTRACT The genome‐wide association study of Multiple Sclerosis severity linked the genetic variant rs10191329A to long‐term disability and implicated brain resilience as a determinant of outcome. We hypothesised that rs10191329A might influence cognition in other neurological diseases and healthy controls.
