The medical imaging and therapeutic technologies that are based on the use of radiation
are reviewed briefly, with special emphasis on the recent developments of synchrotron …

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) uses highly collimated, quasi-parallel arrays of X-ray
microbeams of 50–600keV, produced by third generation synchrotron sources, such as the …

Radiotherapeutic doses for malignant gliomas are generally palliative because greater,
supposedly curative doses would impart clinically unacceptable damage to nearby vital …

Studies have shown that x-rays delivered as arrays of parallel microplanar beams
(microbeams), 25-to 90-μm thick and spaced 100–300 μm on-center, respectively, spare …

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), a novel form of spatially fractionated radiotherapy (RT),
uses arrays of synchrotron-generated X-ray microbeams (MB). MRT has been identified as a …

After years of lethargy, studies on two non-conventional microstructures in time and space of
the beams used in radiation therapy are enjoying a huge revival. The first effect called …

The object of this paper is to give a new user some practical information on the use of
radiochromic films for medical applications. While various aspects of radiochromic film …

The cerebellum of the weanling piglet (Yorkshire) was used as a surrogate for the
radiosensitive human infant cerebellum in a Swiss-led program of experimental microbeam …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the early effects of microbeam irradiation
on the vascular permeability and volume in the parietal cortex of normal nude mice using …

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a new form of preclinical radiotherapy using quasi-
parallel arrays of synchrotron X-ray microbeams. While the deposition of several hundred …
