If the left-hand side includes a multiplication with time to compute a time-integrated flux, you would need to multiply with the area of the target to get an absorbed dose. The unit for that is sievert. Doseratecan be expressed in Sv/h, but then you must not multiply with time on th...

The resistance of a material to radiation is attributed to many factors such as the type of radiation used, the rate of absorbed dose, radiation exposure (pulsed or continuous), area and size of the material, the surrounding environment (pressure, temperature, electric, or magnetic field) (McMi...
The effects of radiation on humans depends on two variable: The dose and the type. Radiation like radio waves, microwaves, and infrared light are harmless, but radiation like ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays, and the kind emitted by radioactive waste can be harmful to human cells and ...
The experiment demonstrated that the Radiation Planning Index formula takes into account the relation between dose distributions calculated for planning treatment volumes and organs at risk and is a convenient tool for treatment plan comparisons in routine clinical practice....
6. Quantitatively detection of a radiation dose usually occurs by converting incident energy to a low-energy photon response, electronic current, or threshold voltage by radiation detectors7. These types of dosimeters, e.g., ionization chambers, thermoluminescent dosimeters, and semiconductors, etc....
Purpose: To validate the van Herk margin formula for lung radiation therapy using realistic dose calculation algorithms and respiratory motion modeling. The robustness of the margin formula against variations in lesion size, peak-to-peak motion amplitude, tissue density, treatment technique, and plan ...

In addition, dosimetric evaluation of our sCT not be analyzed in the current work, using the sCT for quantitative applications such as multicenter testing, dose calculation, adaptive treatment planning is the focus of our future studies. Conclusions A novel unsupervised method for synthesizing sCT ...
Background: The dose distribution plays an importance role in the commercial treatment planning algorithm; therefore, a patient-independent model is needed to calculate the modulated profile.Methods: A general formula has been proposed to calculate the profiles for any field shape in the wedged and ...
