Luminescence dosimetry is the process of quantifying the absorbed dose of ionizing
radiation using detectors that exhibit luminescence. The luminescence intensity scales with …

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters
(OSLD) are practical, accurate, and precise tools for point dosimetry in medical physics …

Managing radiotherapy patients with implanted cardiac devices (implantable cardiac
pacemakers and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators) has been a great practical and …

Epidemiologic studies that include patients who underwent radiation therapy for the
treatment of cancer aim to quantify the relationship between radiotherapy and the risk of …

Proton therapy has shown dosimetric advantages over conventional radiation therapy using
photons. Although the integral dose for patients treated with proton therapy is low, concerns …

Purpose The physical properties of protons lower doses to surrounding normal tissues
compared with photons, potentially reducing acute and long-term adverse effects, including …

The management of patients with a cardiac implanted electronic device (CIED) receiving
radiotherapy (RT) is challenging and requires a structured multidisciplinary approach. A …

Out-of-field doses are much smaller than treatment-field doses, but most secondary cancer
occurrences occur around the primary treatment area. Studies on out-of-field dose …

This paper aims to review on fetal dose in radiotherapy and extends and updates on a
previous work 1 to include proton therapy. Out-of-field doses, which are the doses received …

Purpose An accurate assessment of out‐of‐field dose is necessary to estimate the risk of
second cancer after radiotherapy and the damage to the organs at risk surrounding the …
