Verification of the Accuracy of the Delivered Dose in Brain Tumors by in Vivo Dosimetry Using Diode Detectors [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Medical Physics, 2005
Introduction: During radiotherapy, high accuracy in the dose delivery is required because there is a strong  relationship between the absorbed dose, local tumor control and particularly the normal tissue damage.

Incorporating Clinical Imaging into the Delivery of Microbeam Radiation Therapy

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy is a promising pre-clinical radiation treatment modality; however, it comes with many technical challenges. This study describes the image guidance protocol used for Australia’s first long-term pre-clinical MRT ...

Silicon Carbide Detectors for in vivo Dosimetry [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2014
Semiconductor detectors for in vivo dosimetry have served in recent years as an important part of quality assurance for radiotherapy. Silicon carbide (SiC) can represent a better semiconductor with respect to the more popular silicon (Si) thanks to its physical characteristics such as wide bandgap, high electron saturation velocity, lower effective ...

Validation of three-dimensional electronic portal imaging device-based PerFRACTION™ software for patient-specific quality assurance

open access: yesJournal of Medical Physics, 2019
Purpose: PerFRACTION™ is a three-dimensional (3D) in vivo electronic portal imaging device-based dosimetry software. To validate the software, three phantoms with different inserts (2D array, ionization chamber, and inhomogeneity materials) were ...

In vivodosimetry: trends and prospects for brachytherapy [PDF]

open access: yesThe British Journal of Radiology, 2014
The error types during brachytherapy (BT) treatments and their occurrence rates are not well known. The limited knowledge is partly attributed to the lack of independent verification systems of the treatment progression in the clinical workflow routine.

Sensitivity of the IRD whole-body counter for in vivo measurements in the case of accidental intakes

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2017
Intakes of radionuclides by humans may occur in the fuel cycle, nuclear medicine, biological research and in TENORM industries and in case of accidents involving workers and the general public.

Inhibition of SIRT7 Overcomes Radioresistance in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors by Reactivating MEN1 Expression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors frequently silence MEN1 through epigenetic mechanisms. Here, SIRT7 recruits DNMT1 to the MEN1 promoter, drives hypermethylation, and enhances DNA repair. Inhibiting SIRT7 restores MEN1, reduces MRN complex abundance, impairs double‐strand break repair, and sensitizes PanNET models to radiation, supporting SIRT7 as a ...

Development of a linear array for intracavitary in vivo dosimetry during external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We present the details of a new linear array dosimeter consisting of a chain of semiconductors mounted on an ultra-thin (50 μm thick) flexible substrate and housed in an intracavitary catheter. The semiconductors, manufactured by NMRC Cork, have not been
