IGRT usesimaging with the therapy to increase the efficiency by improving the precision and accuracy of the treatment procedure. The IMRT therapy uses high-edged software and sophisticated hardware to vary the intensity and shape of radiation used for different parts of the treatment area. What is ...

The BEIR VII committee considered four primary sources of data on the stochastic effects of ionizing radiation. These were environmental studies, occupational studies, medical studies and studies on the atomic bomb survivors. These sources are briefly reviewed along with key studies that run counter ...
In other words, statistical variation in the energy deposition from high-LET radiation such as alpha particles is large in a small volume and that the macrodosimetic quantities such as mean absorbed dose can be a misleading index for the biological effects of high-LET radiation [4]. In such...
