Use of Amorphous Silicon (ASi) Electronic Portal Imaging Devices for Other applications for Linear Accelerator Quality Assurance [PDF]
Introduction: The success of radiation therapy depends critically on the accuracy of patient alignment in treatment position day after day. The primary use for Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) is to monitor patient position during daily ...

Disruption of Vitamin D and Calcium Signaling in Keratinocytes Predisposes to Skin Cancer. [PDF]
1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), the active metabolite of vitamin D, and calcium regulate epidermal differentiation. 1,25(OH)2D exerts its effects through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a transcription factor in the nuclear hormone receptor family ...

A Validation Method for EPID In Vivo Dosimetry Algorithms
The aim of this study was to develop and apply an evaluation method for assessing the accuracy of a novel 3D EPID back-projection algorithm for in vivo dosimetry. The novel algorithm of Dosimetry Check (DC) 5.8 was evaluated. A slab phantom homogeneously

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