High-precision radiotherapy requires precise positioning, particularly with high single doses. Fiducial markers in combination with onboard imaging are excellent tools to support this. In the study “BioXmark for high-precision radiotherapy in an orthotopic pancreatic...
The development of image-guided small animal irradiators represents a significant improvement over standard irradiators by enabling preclinical studies to mimic radiotherapy in humans. The ability to deliver tightly collimated targeted beams, in conjunction with...
The UK SARRP user group workshop is fast approaching but you still have a good chance to register to attend and find out the latest developments in the area of pre-clinical research. The event is taking place on Wednesday June 27th following the 2018 ARR meeting at...
In recent years, small animal image-guided irradiators have been widely utilized in preclinical studies involving rodent models. However, the dosimetry commissioning of such equipment involving kilovoltage small-field dosimetry has not received as much interest as the...
BACKGROUND: Recently, imaging and high-precision irradiation devices for preclinical tumor models have been developed. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) including innovative treatment planning techniques comparable to patient treatment can be achieved in a...
Preclinical radiation biology has become increasingly sophisticated due to the implementation of advanced small animal image guided radiation platforms into laboratory investigation. The Xstrahl small animal radiation research platform (SARRP) enables state-of-the-art...
The aim of this study was to investigate a single crystal diamond detector, the microDiamond detector from PTW (PTW-Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany), concerning the particular requirements in the set-up and energy range used in small animal radiotherapy (RT) research...
Purpose The precise dosimetric and geometric characteristics of small animal irradiators are essential to achieving reproducible dose delivery, especially in cases where image‐guidance is utilized. Currently, radiochromic film is the established measurement tool used...
The goal of this work was to establish imaging dose to mouse organs with a validated Monte Carlo (MC) model of the image-guided Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) and to investigate the effect of scatter from the internal walls on animal therapy dose...
