Age-dependent small-animal internal radiation dosimetry.
Rats at various ages were observed to present with different radiosensitivity and bioavailability for radiotracers commonly used in preclinical research. We evaluated the effect of age-induced changes in body weight on radiation dose calculations. A series of rat models at different age periods were constructed based on the realistic four-dimensional digital rat whole-body (ROBY) computational ...
متن کاملDosimetry of gamma chamber blood irradiator using Gafchromic EBT film.
Gafchromic films are increasingly being used for dosimetry in medical and industrial applications of ionizing radiation because of their favorable characteristics such as self developing in nature, easy to handle, dose rate independent response, insensitivity to normal room lights, high resolution and insensitivity to variation in the environment conditions. The dosimetry measurements using Gaf...
متن کاملStudy of Image Qualities From 6D Robot–Based CBCT Imaging System of Small Animal Irradiator
PURPOSE To assess the quality of cone beam computed tomography images obtained by a robotic arm-based and image-guided small animal conformal radiation therapy device. METHOD AND MATERIALS The small animal conformal radiation therapy device is equipped with a 40 to 225 kV X-ray tube mounted on a custom made gantry, a 1024 × 1024 pixels flat panel detector (200 μm resolution), a programmable 6...
متن کاملSmall Animal Radiation Research Platform: Imaging, Mechanics, Control and Calibration
In cancer research, well characterized small animal models of human cancer, such as transgenic mice, have greatly accelerated the pace of development of cancer treatments. The goal of the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) is to make those same models available for the development and evaluation of novel radiation therapies. In combination with advanced imaging methods, small anim...
متن کاملMicro Irradiator / Animals Advanced Applications of 3D Dosimetry and 3D Printing in Radiation Therapy
Pre-clinical animal studies are used as a conventional means of translational research, as a midpoint between in-vitro cell studies and clinical implementation. However, modern small animal radiotherapy platforms are primitive in comparison with conventional linear accelerators. This work also investigates a series of 3D printed tools to expand the treatment capabilities of the X-RAD 225Cx orth...
