Dose optimization of breast balloon brachytherapy using a stepping Ir192 HDR source
There is a considerable underdosage (11%-13%) of PTV due to anisotropy of a stationary source in breast balloon brachytherapy. We improved the PTV coverage by varying multiple dwell positions and weights. We assumed that the diameter of spherical balloons varied from 4.0 cm to 5.0 cm, that the PTV was a 1-cm thick spherical shell over the balloon (reduced by the small portion occupied by the ca...
متن کاملDosimetric characterization and output verification for conical brachytherapy surface applicators. Part I. Electronic brachytherapy source.
PURPOSE Historically, treatment of malignant surface lesions has been achieved with linear accelerator based electron beams or superficial x-ray beams. Recent developments in the field of brachytherapy now allow for the treatment of surface lesions with specialized conical applicators placed directly on the lesion. Applicators are available for use with high dose rate (HDR)(192)Ir sources, as w...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of a computerized adaptive translation test (a receptive based study)
آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای (cat) روشی نوین برای سنجش سطح علمی دانش آموزان می باشد. در حقیقت آزمون های رایانه ای با سرعت بالایی به سمت و سوی جایگزین عملی برای آزمون های کاغذی می روند (کینگزبری، هاوسر، 1993). مقاله حاضر به دنبال آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای برای ترجمه می باشد. بدین منظور دو پرسشنامه مشتمل بر 55 تست ترجمه میان 102 آزمودنی و 10 مدرس زبان انگلیسی پخش گردید. پرسشنامه اول میان 102 دانشجوی س...
Force-Sensor-Based Estimation of Needle Tip Deflection in Brachytherapy
A virtual sensor is developed for the online estimation of needle tip deflection during permanent interstitial brachytherapy needle insertion. Permanent interstitial brachytherapy is an effective, minimally invasive, and patient friendly cancer treatment procedure. The deflection of the needles used in the procedure, however, undermines the treatment efficiency and, therefore, needs to be minim...
متن کاملTelediagnosis of Transbronchial Fine Needle Aspirations – A Feasibility Study
AIM To analyze the diagnostic accuracy of telediagnostic procedures for transbronchial fine needle aspirations. MATERIAL AND METHODS A double blind study was performed on cytological slides of 54 randomly selected cases with transbronchial fine needle aspirations. The slides were digitized using a Leica digital camera DC100 mounted on a microscope Leica Laborlux S, and analyzed by an experien...
