چکیده
Radiation technology is increasingly involved in the care of breast patients in the modern era, both in the diagnosis of benign and malignant conditions and in the treatment of cancer. Accordingly, surgeons managing breast patients must have a fundamental understanding of radiation physics, its biological effects, and the rationale and methodology used to protect the patient, the surgeon, and allied health professionals from its potentially detrimental effects.

متن کاملSecondary Particles Produced by Hadron Therapy
Introduction Use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. In this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. Materials and Methods I...
متن کاملEstimation of radiation dose to the lens of eyes of patients undergoing cranial computed tomography in a teaching Hospital in Osun state, Nigeria
Background: One of the means of assessing dose to patients from Computed tomography (CT) procedure is through the determination of the skin entrance dose (ESD) with the appreciation of the concern that ocular exposure effects from CT scan includes possible induction of cancer and cataract. Due to the relatively more recent introduction of CT scans, little work has been done in this area in the ...
