introduction in this study, we aimed to calculate dose enhancement factor (def) for gold (au) and iron (fe) nanoparticles (nps) in brachytherapy and teletherapy, using monte carlo (mc) method. materials and methods in this study, a new algorithm was introduced to calculate dose enhancement by aunps and fenps for iridium-192 (ir-192) brachytherapy and cobalt-60 (co-60) teletherapy sources, using...

BACKGROUND To distinguish RCC subtypes based on contrast enhancement features of CT images. MATERIAL/METHODS In total, 59 lesions from 57 patients were included. All patients underwent multi-slice CT imaging with a triphasic protocol, which included non-contrast, corticomedullary, nephrographic and urographic phases. Contrast enhancement features of renal masses were evaluated in terms of CT ...

conclusions although in our study washout pattern was the most powerful indicator for malignant pathology in non mass like enhancing lesions, more studies with larger sample size needs in this regard. background several studies on the diagnostic efficacy of mri has not real consensus for the accuracy of mri characteristics in non mass like breast lesions, and the number of malignant lesions in ...
