Investigation into the radiobiological consequences of pre-treatment verification imaging with megavoltage X-rays in radiotherapy.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-treatment verification imaging with megavoltage X-rays on cancer and normal cell survival in vitro and to compare the findings with theoretically modelled data. Since the dose received from pre-treatment imaging can be significant, the incorporation of this dose at the planning stage of treatment has been suggested. METHODS ...

15 صفحه اولTreatment of inoperable carcinoma of the bronchus by megavoltage X rays.
The techniques of treatment of carcinoma of the bronchus using 8 million volt x rays are described. In a group of inoperable cases of carcinoma of the bronchus a three-year survival rate of 10% was obtained with squamous lesions, and in anaplastic and oat-cell lesions the three-year survival rate was 4%. The factors affecting the prognosis are described and also the palliation achieved. The imm...
متن کاملGhost Imaging with X Rays
C onventional imaging methods capture an image of an object by recording, in a multipixel detector, the intensity and color of a light beam that hits the object. The technique of ghost imaging is different. It forms an image of the object using correlations between the intensities of two light beams, an “object beam” that strikes the object and a “reference beam” that does not. Crucially, in th...
متن کاملRadiobiological aspects of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) with isotropic low-energy X rays for early-stage breast cancer.
The purpose of this study was to model the distribution of biological effect around a miniature isotropic X-ray source incorporating spherical applicators for single-dose or hypo-fractionated partial-breast intraoperative radiotherapy. A modification of the linear-quadratic formalism was used to calculate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 50 kV X rays as a function of dose and irra...
