Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females within the UK, accounting for almost a third (31%) of all female cases (2015)[1]. It is no wonder that scientists are constantly looking for new innovative and more effective ways of treating this disease, trying to...
"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...
PURPOSE: The Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) has been developed for conformal microirradiation with on-board cone beam CT (CBCT) guidance. The graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated Superposition-Convolution (SC) method for dose computation has...
