Fabrication of anthropomorphic phantoms for use in total body photon irradiation and total skin electron irradiation studies
Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...
متن کاملTotal skin electron irradiation techniques: a review
Total skin electron irradiation (TSEI) has been employed as one of the methods of mycosis fungoides treatment since the mid-twentieth century. In order to improve the effects and limit the complications following radiotherapy, a number of varieties of the TSEI method, frequently differing in the implementation mode have been developed. The paper provides a systematic review of the different var...
متن کاملDiode calibration for dose determination in total body irradiation
Background: Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is different from standard radiotherapy in many aspects, so it is not easy to predict the delivered dose to the patient under TBI treatment. Diode dosimetry procedures for surface dose reading can help to define variations of the actually delivered dose from the prescribed one. The aim of this study was to describe the measurements made to calib...
متن کاملTotal body irradiation for myelomatosis.
In the first myeloma trial of the M.R.C. working party on leukaemia in adults the deaths that have occurred can be attributed to unrelated diseases (5%h-for example, cosonary thrombosis, etc.); causes indirectly telated to the tumour (80,for example, pneumonia due to the immune paresis); no obvious response of the tumour to treatment (27/); and finally relapse of the tumour after an initial res...
متن کاملBlood coagulation factors in total body irradiation.
HERBERT S. SLSE, JACQUES GAUTHIEB, ROBERT BECKER AND JOHN Boz. c n H EMORRHAGE has been an important and ominous sign in victims of irradiation effects. Although its occurrence coincided with a period of intense thrombocytopenia, Allen and Jacobson1 in experimental observations in dogs observed a circulating heparin-like anticoagulant, and Allen2 concluded that it played an important role in th...
