Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose This study evaluates the dosimetric and geometric precision of a virtual cone technique using CBCT‐based polymer gel dosimetry, enabling radiation delivery, and imaging readout within an identical spatial coordinate system. Methods We created a C# script for a virtual cone technique that generates a treatment plan with 10 gantry arcs ...

The effects of three different types of distraction on pain induced by the iontophoretic administration of potassium ions : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1992 Distraction of attention away from painful sensations is a widely accepted technique for reducing both clinical pain (Copp, 1974; Turk, Meichenbaum, & Genest, 1983), and instances of experimentally induced pain (Fernandez & Turk, 1989; McCaul & Malott ...
