Heart atlas for retrospective cardiac dosimetry: a multi-institutional study on interobserver contouring variations and their dosimetric impact

Radiation Oncology, 2021
Purpose Cardiac effects after breast cancer radiation therapy potentially affect more patients as survival improves. The heart’s heterogeneous radiation exposure and composition of functional structures call for establishing individual relationships ...

Experimental Study on the Effects of L(+)-Ascorbic Acid Treatment to the ESR Signals of Human Fingernails

Applied Sciences, 2022
The effects of L(+)-ascorbic acid (AA) (an antioxidant commonly known as vitamin C) on the electron spin resonance (ESR) signals from fingernails were examined in relation to X-ray and UV irradiation.

The micronucleus assay as a biological dosimeter of in vivo ionising radiation exposure [PDF]

, 2010
Biological dosimetry, based on the analysis of micronuclei (MN) in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay can be used as an alternative method for scoring dicentric chromosomes in the field of radiation protection.

A systematic review of methods to immobilise breast tissue during adjuvant breast irradiation [PDF]

, 2013
Greater use of 3D conformal, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and external beam partial breast irradiation following local excision (LE) for breast cancer has necessitated a review of the effectiveness of immobilisation methods to stabilise breast

Thermally assisted IRSL and VSL measurements of display glass from mobile phones for retrospective dosimetry

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
Investigations of retrospective dosimetry have shown that components of mobile phones are suitable as emergency dosimeters in case of radiological incidents. For physical dosimetry, components can be read out using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL),

Comparison of established and emerging biodosimetry assays [PDF]

, 2013
Rapid biodosimetry tools are required to assist with triage in the case of a large-scale radiation incident. Here, we aimed to determine the dose-assessment accuracy of the well-established dicentric chromosome assay (DCA) and cytokinesis-block ...

Luminescence properties of common salt (NaCl) available in Nigeria for use as accident dosimeter in radiological emergency situation

Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2017
In the event of a radiological accident or attack, it is important to assess and quantify radiation dose to the population. This could be done using materials in the vicinity that are sensitive to ionizing radiation.

In vivo dose measurement using TLDs and MOSFET dosimeters for cardiac radiosurgery. [PDF]

, 2012
In vivo measurements were made of the dose delivered to animal models in an effort to develop a method for treating cardiac arrhythmia using radiation. This treatment would replace RF energy (currently used to create cardiac scar) with ionizing radiation.

Somatostatin Analogues in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Past, Present and Future [PDF]

, 2019
In recent decades, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has steadily increased. Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no ...
