Evaluation of Dose Distribution Homogeneity and Accuracy for a Cs-137 Source Using Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (CaSO₄:Dy and LiF:Mg,Ti) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Physics
Introduction: Cesium-137 (Cs-137) is a widely used source of ionizing radiation across various fields.Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), due to their sensitivity and reliability, are frequently employed to measure radiation dose in medical, industrial,

Dose Measurements of Parotid Glands and Spinal Cord in Conventional Treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Using RANDO Phantom and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Physics, 2015
Introduction Radiotherapy is regarded as the first treatment of choice for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Despite the advantages of radiotherapy, patients may suffer from a wide range of side-effects due to the presence of many sensitive normal tissues in ...

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Dosimetric evaluation of electron beam Monte Carlo isodoses distribution based on thermoluminescent dosimetry

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2020
Electron beams are applied in radiotherapy treatments where superficialized doses are desirable as well as deeper tissues sparing. Monte Carlo method has been recently implemented in the TPS as the algorithm for electron beam isodoses calculation at the ...

COFs on MOFs: Layer‐by‐Layer Synthesis of MOF@COF Nanoparticles with Synergistic Adsorption

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A layer‐by‐layer strategy enables the growth of crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) shells on metal–organic framework nanoparticles, creating core–shell structures with tunable porosity. Ordered interstitial mesopores are formed during shell growth, which are connected with the COF's intrinsic micropores, thereby enhancing water sorption. This

Comparative Evaluation of Four Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Approaches for Treatment of Posterior Choroidal Melanoma

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated four stereotactic radiosurgery planning approaches for posterior choroidal melanoma (CM). Analysis of thirteen CM cases resulted in a clinically meaningful reduction in dose to the brain for Brainlab Elements modulated arcs (BE) and Varian Eclipse HyperArc modulated arcs (HA) compared to Brainlab iPlan dynamic conformal arc therapy

Radiation Safety in Practice: A Cross‐Sectional Study on Radiographers' Knowledge, Awareness and Adherence to Personal Radiation Monitoring Devices in Resource Limited Settings

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study examined how well radiographers in five major Namibian state hospitals understand and use Personal Radiation Monitoring Devices (PRMD), a critical tool for occupational safety. While most respondents showed strong knowledge and awareness of PRMDs, many were unaware of their own radiation exposure and rarely reviewed their dose records ...

Technique considerations for implementing volumetric‐modulated arc therapy for total body irradiation within an Australian tertiary institution

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 165-172, March 2025.
In 2020, our institution transitioned to the Eclipse™ treatment planning system and to Truebeam® linear accelerators with 6 MV and 10 MV energies. The linear accelerators were installed in smaller bunkers that could not accommodate 400 cm FAD. A multidisciplinary team within the institution was created to evaluate existing total body irradiation ...
