A robotic treatment delivery system to facilitate dynamic conformal synchrotron radiotherapy
Abstract Background In clinical radiotherapy, the patient remains static during treatment and only the source is dynamically manipulated. In synchrotron radiotherapy, the beam is fixed, and is horizontally wide and vertically small, requiring the patient to be moved through the beam to ensure full target coverage, while shaping the field to conform to ...

A comparative analysis of GEANT4, MCNP6 and FLUKA on proton‐induced gamma‐ray simulation
Abstract BackgroundPrecise range verification is essential in proton therapy to minimize treatment margins due to the steep dose fall‐off of proton beams. The emission of secondary radiation from nuclear reactions between incident particles and tissues stands out as a promising method for range verification.

X-ray observations of AM Herculis from OSO-8 [PDF]
The white dwarf binary system AM Herculis (2A1815+500) was observed in X-rays at both low energies (E less 10 keV) and higher energies. The exact shape of the spectrum, particularly at the higher energies, has yet to be determined.

Abstract Background Respiratory motion during the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) acquisition can cause blurring artifacts in the reconstructed images, leading to inaccurate estimates for activity and absorbed doses. Purpose To address the impact of respiratory motion, we utilized a new optical surface imaging (OSI) system to extract

Study of mass flow distribution and chemical composition of comets from solar induced X-ray fluorescence [PDF]
The expected performance of an X-ray detector as an instrument aboard a mission to a comet was evaluated. The functions of the detector are both nondispersive analysis of chemical composition and measurement of mass flow from the comet nucleus ...
