These techniques include multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy, external beam 3D conformal radiation therapy, balloon-based brachytherapy and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT).

and clinical investigations of cancer treatment that include radiation therapy. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are also included.

We then describe the design and operation of a miniature capsule-conformal microstrip antenna with improved radiation efficiency. We demonstrate that with the proposed methodology, the operating range ...

The UAB Department of Radiation Oncology is an integral part of one of the nation's largest health systems. Nationally known for our compassionate care, cutting-edge research, and comprehensive ...

Rare cancers are less known and pose challenges due to limited research and diagnostic difficulties. Environmental factors, ...

During spaceflight, both devices and humans risk exposure to high radiation levels. Without sufficient protection, instruments would malfunction, and astronauts might face serious health risks.

In the late 1980s to early 1990s, the incorporation of CT scans allowed for the reconstruction of tumours and healthy organs in three dimensions, and thereby led to the development of three ...

The forms of this advanced approach that are more conformal than 3D-CRT include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). However, strategies to spare ...
