Radon Progeny Recoil Effect in Retrospective Indoor Glass Dosimetry

Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications, 2020
Radon gas diffusion and progeny transport in air, are mechanisms to be considered in retrospective glass dosimetry.   With the aim to contribute to the understanding of the Rn progeny recoil energy role in this dosimetry methodology, we carried out a simulation employing GEANT4 code.

Retrospective methods to estimate radiation dose at the site of breast cancer development after Hodgkin lymphoma radiotherapy

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2017
Background: An increased risk of breast cancer following radiotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has now been robustly established. In order to estimate the dose–response relationship more accurately, and to aid clinical decision making, a retrospective

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

Modeling dose to normal brain following hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy to a single brain metastasis

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Brain metastases (BM) occur in at least 20% of people with an advanced solid malignancy and can lead to morbidity or mortality if not controlled. Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HF‐SRT) may be preferred to single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in certain clinical situations to improve the therapeutic ratio ...

Automatic target volume segmentation for offline adaptive head–and‐neck radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Purpose To assess the clinical utility of Smartfuse (Therapanacea, France), a deformable image registration (DIR) algorithm for automatic propagation of target volumes in the context of offline adaptive head‐and‐neck radiotherapy. Materials and methods Ten patients underwent offline re‐planning during head‐and‐neck radiotherapy. Target volumes
