In the recent publication, Partial-Brain Radiation-Induced Microvascular Cognitive Impairment in Juvenile Murine Unilateral Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity, researchers used partial-brain radiation therapy to evaluate strategies to reduce cognitive decline in pediatric brain cancer patients treated with radiotherapy.

Xstrahl in Action Advances in conformal radiotherapy (RT) techniques and image-guidance have significantly reduced organs at risk (OAR) exposure, which has been associated with improved safety profiles. However, opportunities remain to further optimise treatments...
Xstrahl in Action In radiology, low X-ray energies (<140 keV) are used to obtain an optimal image while in radiotherapy, higher X-ray energies (MeV) are used to eradicate tumor tissue. In radiation research, both these X-ray energies are being used to extrapolate...
Xstrahl in Action This paper describes the use and dosimetric validation of a newly developed Monte Carlo (MC) tool, SmART-RAD, to simulate the X-ray field in a range of standard commercial X-ray cabinet irradiators used for preclinical irradiations. Comparisons are...
