Abstract Purpose Total body irradiation (TBI) is an important part of conditioning regimens prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). At our institution, a conventional TBI technique employing bilateral fields at extended source‐to‐axis distance (eSAD) and a solid three‐dimensional (3D) compensator has been standard practice since the ...

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

Abstract Nowcasting and forecasting of the radiation environment in the Earth's lower atmosphere are critical for the safety of aircraft and spacecraft crews and passengers. Currently, this problem is addressed by employing statistical and physics‐based models that take into account particle transport and precipitation.

Detector for imaging and dosimetry of laser-driven epithermal neutrons by alpha conversion [PDF]
An epithermal neutron imager based on detecting alpha particles created by boron neutron capture mechanism is discussed. The diagnostic mainly consists of a mm thick Boron Nitride (BN) sheet (as an alpha converter) in contact with a non-borated cellulose
