Case notes and clinicians : Galen's commentary on the Hippocratic epidemics in the Arabic tradition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Galen’s Commentaries on the Hippocratic Epidemics constitute one of the most detailed studies of Hippocratic medicine from Antiquity. The Arabic translation of the Commentaries by Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq (d. c. 873) is of crucial importance because it preserves

Breast in vivo dosimetry by EPID

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2010
An electronic portal imaging device (EPID) is an effective detector for in vivo transit dosimetry. In fact, it supplies two‐dimensional information, does not require special efforts to be used during patient treatment, and can supply data in real time.
