In the recent study, Orthovoltage X-ray Minibeam Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Ocular Tumours—An In Silico Evaluation, researchers sought to understand radiotherapeutic treatment of ocular tumours. They are often challenging because of nearby radiosensitive structures and the high doses required to treat radioresistant cancers such as uveal melanomas. See details below and the full study here.
Inorganic Scintillator Detectors for Dosimetry in Image-Guided Small Animal Radiotherapy Platforms
The purpose of the recent study, Characterization of Inorganic Scintillator Detectors for Dosimetry in Image-Guided Small Animal Radiotherapy Platforms, was to characterize a detection system based on inorganic scintillators and determine its suitability for dosimetry in preclinical radiation research.
