Radiation delivery to cancer patients for radiotherapy is invariably accompanied by
unwanted radiation to other parts of the patient's body. Traditionally, considerable effort has …

Out-of-field doses in radiotherapy have been increasingly studied in recent years because of
the generally improved survival of patients who have received radiotherapy as part of their …

Radiation dose outside the radiotherapy treatment field can be significant and therefore is of
clinical interest in estimating organ doses. In a previous paper we reported the results of …

Innovations in cancer treatment have contributed to the improved survival rate of these
patients. Radiotherapy is one of the main options for cancer management nowadays. High …

The methodology we have developed to study dose distribution outside the target volume
during external beam radiotherapy allows us to determine the dose received by the patient …

Purpose: A generalized model is developed to calculate the dose at any point in the body
outside the primary beam, using experimentally determined data. Methods and Materials …

Purpose: There is an increasing number of cancer survivors who are at risk of developing
late effects caused by ionizing radiation such as induction of second tumors. Hence, the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate, by comparing simulation results with measurement
results, the impact of the lack of scattering volume in experimental conditions of preclinical …

Radiation therapy treatment planning and delivery capabilities have changed dramatically
since the introduction of three-dimensional treatment planning and are continuing to change …

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 …
