چکیده
Tomotherapy is the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy using rotational delivery of a fan beam in the manner of a CT scanner. In helical tomotherapy the couch and gantry are in continuous motion akin to a helical CT scanner. Helical tomotherapy is inherently capable of acquiring CT images of the patient in treatment position and using this information for image guidance. This review documents technological advancements of the field concentrating on the conceptual beginnings through to its first clinical implementation. The history of helical tomotherapy is also a story of technology migration from academic research to a university–industrial partnership, and finally to commercialization and widespread clinical use.

Patent Citations as a Measure of Knowledge Flows: the Influence of Examiner Citations
Analysis of patent citations is a core methodology in the study of knowledge diffusion. However, citations made by patent examiners have not been separately reported, adding unknown noise to the data. We leverage a recent change in the reporting of patent data showing citations added by examiners. The magnitude is high: two-thirds of citations on the average patent are inserted by examiners. Fu...
متن کاملDifferences in Received Citations over Time and Across Fields in China

The citations of 896,645 papers from the Chinese Citation Database (1994 to 2013) that comprised four disciplines, namely, Philosophy, Library and Information Science (LIS), Physics, and Mechanical Engineer...
متن کاملPredicting the long-term citation impact of recent publications
A fundamental problem in citation analysis is the prediction of the long-term citation impact of recent publications. We propose a model to predict a probability distribution for the future number of citations of a publication. Two predictors are used: The impact factor of the journal in which a publication has appeared and the number of citations a publication has received one year after its a...
متن کاملThe bibliographic impact of epidemiological studies: what can be learnt from citations?
OBJECTIVE To document one dimension of the impact of an epidemiological study through citations in scientific journals. METHODS Two sets of articles from studies performed in France were considered. They presented original results on occupational risk factors for low back pain and upper limb disorders. Citations of these articles were retrieved through the Web of Science and Google Scholar, a...
متن کاملAn automatic method for extracting citations from Google Books
Recent studies have shown that counting citations from books can help scholarly impact assessment and that Google Books (GB) is a useful source of such citation counts, despite its lack of a public citation index. Searching GB for citations produces approximate matches, however, and so its raw results need timeconsuming human filtering. In response, this article introduces a method to automatic...
متن کاملBenchmarks for Articles Published by Australian Marketing Academics
Research quality is becoming increasingly important in the Australian university system and journal quality and citation rates are both seen as reasonable quality indicators. The present study used the citations received by articles published in a set of high and reasonable quality marketing journals in 2001, which is the first year of the intended Australian RQF exercise, to develop influence ...
