The neutron therapy facility at the Gershenson Radiation Oncology Center, Harper University Hospital in Detroit has been operational since September 1991. The d(48.5)+Be beam is produced in a gantry mounted superconducting cyclotron designed and built at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). Measurements were performed in order to obtain the physical characteristics of the n...

SINCE the high incidence of iatrogenic hypothyroidism (40%/. eight years after treatment) in thyrotoxic patients treated with radioiodine was appreciated, the radiobiology of the thyroid gland has 'become a subject of great clinical importance. The method of treatment in its orthodox form and dosage is clearly unsatisfactory and efforts are being made to improve it in various centres. Unfortuna...

When I came into radiotherapy in 1950, I was puzzled that some patients were treated to 3000 rads (cGy) in 3 weeks but others received 4000 in 5 or 6000 in 6 weeks. When I asked why, there were no convincing answers given, except 'this is what we usually do'. It wasn't until I went to a course on 'Radiobiology for Radiotherapy' in Cambridge that I learnt about the basic theories of Douglas Lea ...
