Dose calibration of EPIDs for segmented IMRT dosimetry [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2014
The purpose of this study was to investigate the dose response of amorphous silicon (a‐Si) electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) under different acquisition settings for both open jaw defined fields and segmented intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) fields. Four different EPIDs were used.

EPID – a useful interfraction QC tool

Polish Journal of Medical Physics and Engineering, 2019
Abstract Biomedical accelerators used in radiotherapy are equipped with detector arrays which are commonly used to obtain the image of patient position during the treatment session. These devices use both kilovolt and megavolt x-ray beams.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Super-resolution imaging in a multiple layer EPID [PDF]

Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 2017
A new portal imager consisting of four vertically stacked conventional electronic portal imaging device (EPID) layers has been constructed in pursuit of improved detective quantum efficiency (DQE). We hypothesize that super-resolution (SR) imaging can also be achieved in such a system by shifting each layer laterally by half a pixel relative to the ...

Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Image Registration in Radiation Therapy Position Paper

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The ASMIRT Image Registration Working Party outlines the critical role of radiation therapists in performing, assessing and documenting rigid and deformable image registration across treatment planning, delivery and adaptive workflows. The position paper emphasises consistent nomenclature, robust QA processes, strong collaboration with diagnostic ...

A method for determining the performance of formulas for calculating the crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete elements

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the performance of formulas for calculating crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete structures. Generally, these studies pay limited attention to the application areas of those formulas and how to compare different representations of the crack width and spacing.

A Review of the Australian MRI Linac Program: From Pie in the Sky to Research Milestone

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Australian Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Linear Accelerator program (MRI linac) was a major research project that aimed to build and test a unique MRI linac prototype for cancer treatment. It aimed to improve radiotherapy anatomical targeting and explore physiological targeting. The purpose of this report is to summarise the development

Early Interaction Between Scripture, Rule of Faith, and Evolving Christian Doctrine and Tradition: A Response to Alister McGrath’s The Nature of Christian Doctrine

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This response to Alister McGrath’s The Nature of Christian Doctrine examines the interplay between Scripture, the Rule of Faith, and evolving Christian doctrine and tradition. Focusing on McGrath’s critique of Lindbeck’s presentation of doctrinal modalities, the article explores how doctrinal formation involves primarily synchronic (canonical),

Dosimetric correlation between exit dose maps and anatomical changes in head and neck cancer treatment on Halcyon‐E: A gamma analysis approach

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Head and neck cancer (HNC) has a high incidence in Brazil. Although Image‐Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) improves treatment precision, anatomical changes during the treatment course may compromise dose distribution and require replanning.

Rapid dehydration drives a nondiffusional drop in C3 photosynthesis that aligns with phosphate limitation

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1127-1142, August 2026.
Schematic representation of the causal sequence through which rapid water loss imposes diffusive and nondiffusive restrictions on carbon assimilation. Summary Drought is an abnormally prolonged water deficit posing major challenges to plants. Stomatal closure has long been considered the primary factor limiting photosynthesis during the early stages of
