Verification of MRI MAGAT polymer gel dosimetry in clinical radiotherapy applications
Introduction: The objective of this work is to study the ability of MRI normoxic polymer gel dosimetry system to be used to verify the calculated dose distribution, in a simple geometry, in clinical radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Initially, 2 liters of the normoxic MAGAT polymer gel was prepared and then poured into two cylindrical Perspex phantom (simu...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy: A Historical Review
"Stereotactic" is an exact radiotherapy treatment modality which implements invasive and non-invasive facilities for improving precise dose delivery. Stereotactic refers to three-dimensional localization of a specific point in space by a unique set of coordinates that relate to a fixed external reference frame. An accurate delivery of radiation is attainable using these techniques with high pre...
