Using Radiation Therapy in the Veterinary Practice

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.

Researchers sought to understand the role of kV treatment in locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer in which kV radiotherapy was used as the primary modality or as supportive treatment to linac-based RT to gain local tumor control and improve the patient’s quality of life. See details of the recent study, Kilovoltage radiotherapy as a supportive treatment in locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer – a series of six case reports, and the full report on six cases.
