Knee bone marrow edema is often diagnosed with the help of MRI as a consequence of trauma, overload, surgery, arthrosis or osteonecrosis. One of its most common reasons is cruciate ligament rupture surgery. The edema pathogenesis is not known for sure. The bone marrow...
Although small animal image-guided radiotherapy (SA-IGRT) systems are used increasingly in preclinical research, tools for performing routine quality assurance have not been optimized and are not readily available. Robust, efficient, and reliable quality assurance...
February 28th, 2019 – Xstrahl Medical, global leader in superficial radiotherapy devices to treat non-melanoma skin cancer and dermatological conditions, is spotlighting its RADiant treatment system at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) annual meeting in...
In their study “Improved Overall Survival of Mice by Reducing Lung Side Effects After High-Precision Heart Irradiation Using a Small Animal Radiation Research Platform” Sievert W, Stangl S, Steiger K, Multhoff G aim to reduce radiation exposure of the lung in...
The orthovoltage x-ray energy frequently used in radiation research is prone to dosimetry errors due to insufficient backscatter conditions. In many radiobiology studies, especially for cell irradiations, precise dose calculation algorithms such as...
In their study “MicroCT imaging dose to mouse organs using a validated Monte Carlo model of the small animal radiation research platform (SARRP)” Johnstone CD and Bazalova-Carter M, establish imaging dose to mouse organs with a validated Monte Carlo (MC) model of the...
Binding of the apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-containing lipoprotein complex to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is essential for cholesterol and lipid homeostasis. Inherited abnormalities in ApoE or LDLR function result in early onset cardiovascular disease and...
February 6th, 2019 – A leading dermatology center in Tennessee has commenced advanced skin radiotherapy treatments using the new RADiant treatment system from Xstrahl Medical, global leader in superficial radiotherapy devices to treat non-melanoma skin cancer and...
In their study “Dosimetric characterization of a single crystal diamond detector in X-ray beams for preclinical research” Severin Kampfer, Nathan Cho Stephanie E. Combs, Jan J.Wilkens, investigated a single crystal diamond detector, the microDiamond detector from PTW,...
