EP-2205 Patient involvement in developing research-based patient information on proton therapy

Patient and public involvement in patient safety research: a workshop to review patient information, minimise psychological risk and inform research

PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY Patient safety is a growing research area. However, although patients and the public are increasingly involved in clinical research, there is little guidance on how best to involve patients in patient safety research. Here we focus on how patients can contribute to the design of patient safety research. We conducted a workshop with patients as part of a project exploring e...

Developing Patient Education Questionnaire in Iranian Culture

Introduction: The objective of the study was to develop an instrument to measure patient education content. Materials and Methods: First of all, literature searches were undertaken to determine current national and international patient education questionnaires. Then a forty five item questionnaire was developed. Questionnaires were filled by 399 patients in surgery wards of Kerman medical ho...

Patient involvement in research – participants or collaborators?

Patient-specific stopping power calibration for proton therapy planning based on single-detector proton radiography.

A simple robust optimizer has been developed that can produce patient-specific calibration curves to convert x-ray computed tomography (CT) numbers to relative stopping powers (HU-RSPs) for proton therapy treatment planning. The difference between a digitally reconstructed radiograph water-equivalent path length (DRRWEPL) map through the x-ray CT dataset and a proton radiograph (set as the grou...
