متن کاملEvaluation of a commercially‐available block for spatially fractionated radiation therapy
In this paper, we present the dosimetric characteristics of a commercially-produced universal GRID block for spatially fractioned radiation therapy. The dosimetric properties of the GRID block were evaluated. Ionization chamber and film measurements using both Kodak EDR2 and Gafchromic EBT film were performed in a solid water phantom to determine the relative output of the GRID block as well as...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of parallel opposed spatially fractionated radiation therapy of deep-seated bulky tumors.
Application of a single fraction of parallel opposed GRID beams as a means of increasing the efficiency of radiation delivery to deep-seated tumors has been investigated. This evaluation was performed by measurement of dosimetric characteristics of the GRID radiation field in parallel opposed and single beam geometry. The limitations of the parallel opposed technique in terms of field size and ...
متن کاملTuberculosis: Past, Present and Future
Background Tuberculosis (TB) is the second-most common cause of death from infectious disease (after those due to HIV/AIDS).
