investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Design and production of 3D printed bolus for electron radiation therapy
This is a proof-of-concept study demonstrating the capacity for modulated electron radiation therapy (MERT) dose distributions using 3D printed bolus. Previous reports have involved bolus design using an electron pencil beam model and fabrication using a milling machine. In this study, an in-house algorithm is presented that optimizes the dose distribution with regard to dose coverage, conformi...
متن کاملMounting Evidence for Postmastectomy Locoregional Radiation Therapy
Déjà vu All Over Again? Although a substantial number of women will suffer and die from breast cancer during the upcoming years, we clearly have made stepwise progress in treating patients with this cancer over the last 3 decades. Each of these steps of progress has led to what are glibly designated “paradigm shifts.” Perhaps the most hotly debated of these paradigms is the local vs systemic na...
متن کاملMounting evidence for postmastectomy locoregional radiation therapy.
Postmastectomy locoregional radiation therapy markedly reduces the risk of locoregional recurrence. Several randomized trials, including two recently updated studies with 10- to 15-year follow-up, demonstrate an improvement in overall survival with radiation therapy. This improvement is seen in patients with one to three positive axillary lymph nodes, as well those with four positive nodes. The...
متن کاملConsensus Statement on postmastectomy radiation therapy.
1. Reduction in the recurrence rate of clinically detectable local-regional disease by PMRT is evident. 2. The most recent randomized controlled trials, including two well-designed trials using modern radiation techniques, have shown a moderate and statistically significant improvement in survival. 3. Consultation with a radiation oncologist should occur in postmastectomy node-positive patients...
