Diode calibration for dose determination in total body irradiation
Background: Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is different from standard radiotherapy in many aspects, so it is not easy to predict the delivered dose to the patient under TBI treatment. Diode dosimetry procedures for surface dose reading can help to define variations of the actually delivered dose from the prescribed one. The aim of this study was to describe the measurements made to calib...

متن کاملHyperparathyroidism in Survivors of Childhood Malignancy after Total Body Irradiation
Objective: The risk of developing hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in adults after radiation exposure is higher than that of the general population. Extensive follow up guidelines of United Kingdom Children’s Cancer Study group (UKCCSG) or Scottish intercollegiate guidelines network (SIGN) do not recommend monitoring serum calcium or parathyroid hormone in patients treated for childhood malignancies. ...
متن کاملTotal body irradiation dose optimization based on radiological depth
We have previously demonstrated the use of Eclipse fluence optimization to define aperture sizes for a novel aperture modulated translating bed total body irradiation (TBI) technique. The purposes of the present study were to identify, characterize, and correct for sources of error inherent in our previous fluence optimization technique, and to develop a clinically viable fluence optimization m...
متن کاملWaldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia treated with fractionated low-dose total body irradiation
Case Report: A 78-year-old male with relapsed Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia following therapy with chlorambucil underwent a five-week course of TBI. The total dose delivered was 1.5 Gy, given as 0.15 Gy twice weekly for ten sessions. During the course of therapy his CD4 cells increased from 637 (cells/mm3) to 808 partly through treatment and then declined to 654 at the completion of therapy. ...
