In vivo dosimetry in total body irradiation
Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is a radiotherapy technique that consists of irradiating homogeneously the whole patient’s body and it is characterized by an extended source to surface distances and the use of large irradiation fields.

ABSTRACT Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) mediate the antiproliferative, antisecretory, and proapoptotic effects of somatostatin and its synthetic analogs. Their surface expression on neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells is required for somatostatin analog therapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT).

Global Efforts to Reduce Paediatric Cancer Care Disparities in Radiotherapy: A Decade Change
ABSTRACT Background We present an update on the status, needs and challenges faced by paediatric imaging and radiotherapy (RT) programmes globally after a previous survey conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 10 years prior. Methods We developed and distributed a 121‐question survey to radiation oncologists, medical physicists and ...

In-vivo dosimetry using electronic portal imaging in online-adaptive radiotherapy for rectal cancer
Background and purpose: Electronic portal imaging device (EPID)-based in-vivo dosimetry (IVD) is widely used to verify radiotherapy dose delivery and detect deviations from anatomical changes, setup uncertainties, or machine-related errors. However, cone-

A Simple, Dynamic Geometric Phantom for MRI and CT Reconstruction Pipelines: Beyond Shepp–Logan
ABSTRACT A customizable, dynamic geometric phantom was developed to bridge the gap between simplistic static phantoms and highly realistic, complex 4D solutions. The phantom enables initial testing, helps detect implementation errors, and supports quantitative evaluation of new dynamic acquisition and reconstruction methods.

Abstract Background Pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), frequently exposes a substantial fraction of active bone marrow (ABM), leading to radiation‐induced marrow suppression and associated hematologic toxicity. Accurate delineation and quantitative assessment of ABM are therefore essential to enable marrow‐sparing radiotherapy strategies ...

Characterization of animal tissues for Monte Carlo simulations in ion beam therapy
Abstract Purpose To obtain better elemental compositions (ECs), physical densities (PDs), and relative linear stopping powers (RLSPs) of tissues scanned by single or dual energy computed tomography for use by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of light ion beam therapy.
