"The demand for orthovoltage therapy today exceeds the supply," so think the radiologists at the Mariinsky Hospital in St. Petersburg. The X-ray room has been functioning in the Mariinsky Hospital since 1952 and was first equipped with Russian X-ray therapies. In...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a hyper vascular malignant tumour with a poor prognosis. Despite the availability of current chemotherapy and targeted therapies in GBM, not many therapeutic benefits have been achieved due to GBM developing drug resistance. Most therapies have...
PURPOSE: To implement Velocity-based image fusion and adaptive deformable registration to enable treatment planning for preclinical murine models of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) using the small animal radiation research platform (SARRP). METHODS AND...
PURPOSE: The main objective of radiobiology is to establish links between doses and radiation-induced biological effects. In this context, well-defined dosimetry protocols are crucial to the determination of experimental protocols. This work proposes a new dosimetry...
PURPOSE: Although small animal image-guided radiotherapy (SA-IGRT) systems are used increasingly in preclinical research, tools for performing routine quality assurance (QA) have not been optimized and are not readily available. Robust, efficient, and reliable QA...
Radiotherapy in the low-dose range with total doses of 5-6 Gy is in Germany an established method for the treatment of the pain symptoms in existing painful heel spurs. Most known results were achieved with orthovolt radiation. The answer to this question today is...
Xstrahl is delighted to announce a UK SARRP user group workshop taking place on Wednesday June 27th following the 2018 ARR meeting at Queen’s University, Belfast. This is a joint event held by Xstrahl, Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group...
Cancer is a complex disease, with a variety of approaches available for its treatment. Treatment modalities are often combined to maximize response and to overcome the limitations of individual modalities when used alone. One such example is the combination of...
On January 29 - 30 the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) together with the University of California and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) held technical discussions on radiological risks associated with using cesium-137 irradiators for research and blood...
