Patients with cancer that has spread to the bone are sometimes treated with alpha particle radiation therapy that is delivered into or very close to the tumor. However, it is unknown whether the ...

In radiotherapy, precision in targeting tumor tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissue is crucial. Monitoring the dose of radiation delivered and absorbed in real-time, particularly in the ...

When a medical imaging exam provides a clinical benefit, the only risk that should be considered is the exam itself rather than a patient's previous radiation exposure, according to a statement by ...

When it comes to determining acceptable radiation dose, a distinction needs to be made between small-, medium-, and large-field cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanners and protocols, according to a new study in ...

Engineers from Washington University in Saint Louis are developing a novel imaging technique for evaluating the use of alpha-particle emitting radiopharmaceutical therapy in tumors and other radiation ...
