WHAT IS RADIATION? Radiation is the process by which energy is emitted as either particles or waves. Broadly, it can take the form of sound, heat, or light. However, most people generally use it to refer to radiation from electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves, though the visible ...
Despite decades of research to understand the biological effects of ionising radiation, there is still much uncertainty over the role of dose rate. Motivated by a virtual workshop on the “Effects of spatial and temporal variation in dose delivery” organised in November 2020 by the Multidisciplinar...
How do you minimize your dose around a radioactive source? Time– Limit the time that you are located in a radiation area. Less time means less absorbed dose for a given source. Distance– The more distance that is put between you and the source decreases the intensity of the exposure fro...
VMAT is an advanced form ofIMRT, where the radiation dose is also varied throughoutradiation therapytreatment, but it delivers a continuous beam of radiotherapy in an arc Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) - SBRT SABR There are a few different terms for stereotactic radiotherapy, which can be confusi...
After MBSImP training, increasing frame rate, and lowering the dose rate on the fluoroscope, a decrease in dose to the patient and no significant increase in the fluoroscopy time were observed. Radiation exposure to patients is an Conflict of interest The authors declare no conflict of ...
