Radiation Risk in 2D Mammography Screening: A Scoping Review of Modelling Strategies and Emerging AI Applications

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This scoping review examined models estimating long‐term radiation risks from repeated mammography screening. While modelling indicates the risks are low, approaches vary by protocol and vendor. Emerging AI tools show promise for improving personalised risk estimation, though further development is needed for cross‐platform compatibility.

Microtubular structure impairment after GSM-modulated RF radiation exposure

Arhiv za Higijenu Rada i Toksikologiju, 2020
The objective of the study was to investigate whether low-level 915 MHz GSM-modulated radiofrequency (RF) radiation impairs microtubular structure and affects normal cell growth.

Development and operation of a pixel segmented liquid-filled linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance

, 2004
A liquid isooctane (C$_{8}$H$_{18}$) filled ionization linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance has been designed, built and tested. The detector consists of 128 pixels, each of them with an area of 1.7 mm $\times$ 1.7 mm and a gap of 0.5 mm.

Patient Dose Optimisation of Abdominopelvic Protocols During X‐Ray Imaging

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluates organ doses in abdominopelvic radiography for both erect and supine positions, addressing dose optimisation concerns in Ghana. Using CalDose X and thermoluminescence dosimeters, organ doses and image quality were analysed, revealing significant dose reductions with optimised exposure parameters (70 kVp, 10 mAs, 110 cm FDD).

A simple method to back-project isocenter dose of radiotherapy treatments using EPID transit dosimetry

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2017
The aim of this work was to implement a simple algorithm to evaluate isocenter dose in a phantom using the back-projected transmitted dose acquired using an Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) available in a Varian Trilogy accelerator with two ...

Survey of normalized CTDI_vol values across four major computed tomography vendors for use in the MIRDct software. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) is an essential imaging modality for disease diagnosis, treatment efficacy, and image‐based guidance of various medical procedures. The locally deposited radiation dose in tissues, as estimated by the computed tomography dose index (CTDI), can vary considerably across exposures delivered by CT scanners from ...

Magnetic Resonance Guided Radiation Therapy (MRgRT) Prostate Motion and Margins

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated intra‐fractional prostate motion during MR‐guided radiotherapy to determine appropriate PTV margins for prostate cancer. Analysis of 18 patients resulted in calculated margins of 3.2 mm (AP), 1.7 mm (LR), and 3.2 mm (SI), supporting the potential for margin reduction with MRgRT. ABSTRACT Introduction Systematic and random errors in

Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid Gel Rectal Spacers in MRI‐Guided Brachytherapy for Gynaecological Cancers: A Prospective Feasibility Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This prospective study investigated the feasibility of stabilised hyaluronic acid gel as a rectal spacer in gynaecological cancer brachytherapy. In twelve patients, the spacer was successfully inserted into the rectovaginal space without serious adverse events, had high visibility on MRI, increased the target‐to‐rectum distance compared with no spacer ...

Size‐specific dose estimates calculated using patient size measurements from scanned projection radiograph in high‐resolution chest computed tomography

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 85-92, March 2025.
This study established that patient's lateral width measurements made from scanned projection radiograph (SPR) is an overestimate compared to those measured from tomographic slices by about 10%. Size‐specific dose estimates (SSDE) calculated using lateral width measured from SPR correlates well with SSDE calculated using water equivalent diameter of ...
