BACKGROUND Features of the tumor microenvironment influence the efficacy of cancer nanotherapeutics. The ability to directly radiolabel nanotherapeutics offers a valuable translational tool to obtain biodistribution and tumor deposition data, testing the hypothesis that the extent of delivery predicts therapeutic outcome. In support of a first in-human clinical trial with (64)Cu-labeled HER2-ta...

introduction: brachytherapy is one of the most common treatment modalities for gynecological cancer. the gzp6 brachytherapy system is one of the devices utilized in iran. it has been considered particularly due to its low cost compared to other more complete and established systems. this system has some deficiencies including lack of a treatment planning software for non-predefined treatments, ...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry is growing in popularity and this success has encouraged the search for other dosimetric materials. Previous studies of gamma-irradiated barium dithionate (BaS(2)O(6) x 2H(2)O) have shown promise for its use as a radiation dosemeter. This work studies in greater detail several essential attributes of the system. Special attention has been directed...

abstract background: for treatment verification in radiation therapy. several physical characteristics of scanningliquid filled ionization chamber epid (slic-epid) including: extra build-up layer,reproducibility and uniformity, and noise level were investigated.electronic portal imaging devices (epids) have found an outstanding positionmaterials and methods: equilibrium, 1-30 mm white water mat...

BEBIG Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques have been used for treatment of uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, melanoma of the iris and other special applications for many years. The plaques consist of a thin film of Ru, a beta emitter, encapsulated in pure silver. The present work proposes a new mathematical eye model for ophthalmic brachytherapy dosimetry. This new model includes detailed description...

During stereotactic body radiotherapy, high radiation dose (~60 Gy) is delivered to the tumour in small fractionation regime. In this study, the dosimetric characteristics were studied using radiochromic film during respiratory-gated and non-gated lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Specifically, the effect of respiratory cycle and amplitude, as well as gating window on the dosimetry we...

Background: Accurate small radiation field dosimetry is essential in modern radiotherapy techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Precise measurement of dosimetric parameters such as beam profile, percentage depth doses and output factor of these beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium and the steep dose gradients. In the p...
