Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Background Biopsy‐level dose interpretation after high‐dose‐rate prostate brachytherapy is limited by localization uncertainty, and separate voxelwise Monte Carlo summaries do not explicitly account for the axial spatial correlation present along a biopsy core.

Spot size reduction and minibeam creation in a proton PBS nozzle using multipole permanent magnets
Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Background Smaller spot sizes in pencil beam scanning (PBS) nozzles are generally desired to allow more conformal treatments and to spare normal tissue and organs at risk. The production of small diameter proton beams, especially proton minibeams, is challenging because long drift spaces in standard PBS nozzles exacerbate effects of MCS and ...

HDR Brachytherapy in the Management of High-Risk Prostate Cancer [PDF]
Advances in Urology, 2012 High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is used with increasing frequency for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is a technique which allows delivery of large individual fractions to the prostate without exposing adjacent normal tissues to unacceptable toxicity. This approach is particularly favourable in prostate cancer where tumours are highly sensitive

Seeing radiation: Applications of an imaging survey meter in radiation oncology
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Background and purpose Radiation shielding surveys require location and evaluation of radiation hotspots in shielding barriers. This process is normally done by using a conventional survey meter and slowly moving the survey meter manually across the face of the barrier.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Background Beam diagnostic systems are essential for the development and quality assurance of ultra‐high dose rate (UHDR) radiation sources to enable reliable delivery of FLASH radiotherapy (RT). Critically, suitable beam diagnostic systems for electron FLASH sources are lacking.
