Recent developments in brachytherapy source dosimetry
Application of radioactive isotopes is the treatment of choice around the globe for many cancer sites. In this technique, the accuracy of the radiation delivery is highly dependent on the accuracy of radiation dosimetry around individual brachytherapy sources. Moreover, in order to have compatible clinical results, an identical method of source dosimetry must be employed across the world. This ...

متن کاملRecent developments in brachytherapy source dosimetry
rachytherapy, the treatment of cancer patients by placing sealed radioactive elements at the short distances relative to the tumor, was born soon after Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity in Paris (1896) and Marie Curie’s discovery of radium (1898). However, within the past several years there have been great improvements in the technical aspect of the brachytherapy procedures (Blasko ...
متن کاملSome New Developments in Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...
متن کاملDosimetry considerations for animal aerosol inhalation studies.
The determination of the dose of inhaled aerosol particles in animal subjects is not a trivial exercise. In its simplest form, the dose is the amount (particle number, mass or other relevant metric) that deposits in the respiratory tract. The amount deposited will depend on the aerosol particle sizes (e.g. the aerodynamic diameter size distribution), the duration of exposure, the exposure syste...
