Dose conversion: A deep learning model predicts the Monte Carlo (MC) dose distribution from the pencil beam (PB) dose, for a prostate cancer case. (a) PB dose distribution; (b) converted dose ...

A dosage formula has been derived from a retrospective analysis of carboplatin pharmacokinetics in 18 patients with pretreatment glomerular filtration rates (GFR) in the range of 33 to 136 mL/min.

Radiotherapy dose calculation algorithms are essential components of modern treatment planning, ensuring that the prescribed radiation dose conforms as closely as possible to a patient’s tumour while ...

The authors also highlighted emerging advances in radioembolization, such as the development of Holmium-166 — a neutron-activated isotope used as an alternative to Y-90 for SIRT — and the expansion of ...

A method for the calculation of the radiation dose rate to extracorporeal blood flowing through a cylindrical beta irradiator is developed. Turbulent and laminar blood flow are treated separately.
