Medical ionizing radiation procedures and especially medical imaging are a non negligible source of exposure to patients. Whereas the biological effects of high absorbed doses are relatively well known, the effects of low absorbed doses are still deb...
BACKGROUND: Currently there is an ever increasing interest in Lu-177 targeted radionuclide therapies, which target neuro-endocrine and prostate tumours. For a patient-specific treatment, an individual dosimetry based on SPECT/CT imaging is necessary....
PURPOSE: We sought to develop machine learning models to detect multileaf collimator (MLC) modeling errors with the use of radiomic features of fluence maps measured in patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy...
Radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) has become a hot topic due to an upward trend in the number of CT procedures worldwide and the relatively high doses associated with these procedures. The main aim of this review article is to provide an ove...
BACKGROUND: In breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy (RT), accurate target delineation and reduction of radiation doses to the nearby normal organs is important. However, manual clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentat...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied with considerable success in the fields of radiology, pathology, and neurosurgery. It is expected that AI will soon be used to optimize strategies for the clinical management of patients based on intensiv...
This study aims to demonstrate a low-cost camera-based radioluminescence imaging system (CRIS) for high-quality beam visualization that encourages accurate pre-treatment verifications on radiation delivery in external beam radiotherapy. To ameliorate...
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the epistemic (or fuzzy) uncertainty, arising due to limited data samples in the measurement of the output factors (OFs) of the small fields using Fuzzy Set Theory (FST).
Exposure to appropriate doses of UV radiation provides enormously health and medical treatment benefits including psoriasis. Typical hospital-based phototherapy cabinets contain a bunch of artificial lamps, either broad-band (main emission spectrum 2...
PURPOSE: External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) treatment planning requires a fast and accurate method of calculating the dose delivered by a clinical treatment plan. However, existing methods of calculating dose distributions have limitations. Monte Carl...
