Medical physics aspects of the synchrotron radiation therapies: Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) and synchrotron stereotactic radiotherapy (SSRT).

Stereotactic Synchrotron Radiotherapy (SSRT) and Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) are both novel approaches to treat brain tumor and potentially other tumors using synchrotron radiation. Although the techniques differ by their principles, SSRT and MRT share certain common aspects with the possibility of combining their advantages in the future. For MRT, the technique uses highly collimated, qu...

MRT++ Design Issues and Brief Reference

Currently the two major obstacles for the limited growth of 3D application development to become a mainstream technology for everyday use are a) the computational and rendering requirements of 3D and b) the lack of a programming model that is appropriate for widespread use by developers who are not experts in the field of 3D graphics. But as the hardware gets faster, software will become the cr...

Microbeam radiation therapy.

It is proposed to carry out radiotherapy and radiosurgery for brain lesions by crossfiring an array of parallel, closely spaced microbeams of synchrotron-generated x rays several times through an isocentric target, each microbeam in the array having an approximately 25-microns-wide adjustable-height rectangular cross section. The following inferences from the known tissue sparing of 22-MeV deut...
