Age-Dependent Small-Animal Internal Radiation Dosimetry
Rats at various ages were observed to present with different radiosensitivity and bioavailability for radiotracers commonly used in preclinical research. We evaluated the effect of age-induced changes in body weight on radiation dose calculations.

First-in-man evaluation of 124I-PGN650: A PET tracer for detecting phosphatidylserine as a biomarker of the solid tumor microenvironment [PDF]
Purpose: PGN650 is a F(ab′) 2 antibody fragment that targets phosphatidylserine (PS), a marker normally absent that becomes exposed on tumor cells and tumor vasculature in response to oxidative stress and increases in response to therapy.

Radiological Loco-Regional Treatments for Cholangiocarcinoma: A Systematic Review of the Literature. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common primary liver cancer and is being diagnosed with increasing frequency worldwide. We performed a systematic review on radiofrequency (RFA), microwave (MWA), irreversible electroporation (IRE), trans‐arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in CCA. Thirty‐

Using microelectrode models for real time cell-culture monitoring [PDF]
This paper proposes a cell-microelectrode model for cell biometry applications, based on the area overlap as main parameter. The model can be applied to cell size identification, cell count, and their extension to cell growth and dosimetry protocols ...
