In vivo dosimetry in external beam photon radiotherapy: Requirements and future directions for research, development, and clinical practice

open access: yesPhysics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2020
External beam radiotherapy with photon beams is a highly accurate treatment modality, but requires extensive quality assurance programs to confirm that radiation therapy will be or was administered appropriately.

Dosimetry with a fluoroscopic electronic portal imaging device [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Physics, 2000
Techniques for dosimetric verification of radiotherapy treatments using a CCD camera based fluoroscopic electronic portal imaging device (EPID) are described. The dosimetric characteristics of the EPID were investigated and a method was developed to derive portal dose images (PDIs) from measured EPID images.

Integrating noise as a risk factor in studies of Alzheimer's disease and dementia: Guidance for epidemiologic research

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Noise exposure is increasingly recognized as a modifiable environmental risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), yet its integration into epidemiologic research remains limited. We reviewed international noise mapping resources, exposure metrics, and analytic approaches relevant to ADRD studies.

Boost Approaches in Patients Undergoing Postoperative Radiotherapy

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 133, Issue 6, Page 773-784, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of breast conservation surgery for early‐stage breast cancer is common, and adjuvant radiotherapy is often recommended to reduce the risk of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. Historical trials have used sequential boost techniques with favorable outcomes with reduction in local recurrence and acceptable cosmetic outcomes.

Excessive Hepatic Arterial-portal Venous Shunting May Predict Failure of Microparticle Localization in Hepatocellular Carcinomas

open access: yesWorld Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2013
Locoregional treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas using yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres is an emerging modality, and involves the administration of such radioactive particles directly into the hepatic arterial vasculature.

Identification of treatment error types for lung cancer patients using convolutional neural networks and EPID dosimetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background/Purpose: Electronic portal imaging device (EPID) dosimetry aims to detect treatment errors, potentially leading to treatment adaptation. Clinically used threshold classification methods for detecting errors lead to loss of information (from ...

Sensitivity and concordance study of an open source EPID‐based linear accelerator test suite

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Background Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) enhance linear accelerator (linac) quality assurance (QA) efficiency but are not universally used beyond patient‐specific IMRT QA. A multi‐institutional Consortium seeks to standardize linac QA utilizing an EPID‐based test suite.
