Dosimetry of ionising radiation is a well-established and mature branch of physical sciences
with many applications in medicine and biology. In particular radiotherapy relies on …

Exposure to ionizing radiation, mechanical trauma, toxic chemicals or infections, or
combinations thereof (ie, combined injury) can induce organic injury to brain tissues, the …

Purpose Malignant mesothelioma most commonly arises in the pleura and peritoneum but
also occurs rarely at other anatomical sites with mesothelial tissue, namely, the pericardium …

The prediction of late effects after radiotherapy in organs outside a treatment field requires
accurate estimations of out-of-field dose. However, out-of-field dose is not calculated …

With therapeutic successes and improved survival after a cancer diagnosis in childhood,
increasing numbers of cancer survivors are at risk of subsequent treatment-related …

A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that exposure to low dose ionizing radiation
(< 2 Gy) is associated with a higher risk of developing radio-induced cancer. Additionally, it …

Background The relationship between radiation therapy for rectal cancer and secondary
malignancies is debated. The present study is the first population-based analysis using …

This paper summarizes recent insights into causal biological mechanisms underlying the
carcinogenicity of asbestos. It addresses their implications for the shapes of exposure …

State-of-the-art radiotherapy treatment planning systems provide reliable estimates of the
therapeutic radiation but are known to underestimate or neglect the stray radiation …

Ionizing radiation has become widely used in medicine, with application in diagnostic
techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and radiation therapy (RT), where X-rays …
