Advances in anaesthesia safety involve analysing failures and devising strategies to address these. However, anaesthetists ...
متن کاملPatient positioning in the proton radiotherapy era
The main hindrance to the diffusion of proton therapy facilities is the high cost for gantry installations. An alternative technical option is provided by fixed-beam treatment rooms, where the patient is rotated and translated in space with a robotic arm solution to enable beam incidence from various angles. The technological efforts based on robotic applications made up to now for patient posi...
