For decades, film was used as a powerful two-dimensional (2D) dosimetry tool for
radiotherapy treatment verification and quality assurance. Unlike the old silver-halide based …

This topical review provides an up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical aspects
of therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry. Kilovoltage x-ray beams have the property …

The use of radiochromic film (RCF) dosimetry in radiation therapy is extensive due to its high
level of achievable accuracy for a wide range of dose values and its suitability under a …

Alterations in gut microbiota impact the pathophysiology of several diseases, including
cancer. Radiotherapy (RT), an established curative and palliative cancer treatment, exerts …

The development of targeted anti-cancer therapies through the study of cancer genomes is
intended to increase survival rates and decrease treatment-related toxicity. We treated a …

A protocol is prescribed for clinical reference dosimetry of external beam radiation therapy
using photon beams with nominal energies between and 50 MV and electron beams with …

From background physics and biological models to the latest imaging and treatment
modalities, the Handbook of Radiotherapy Physics: Theory and Practice covers all …

Background With radiotherapy having entered the era of image guidance, or image‐guided
radiation therapy (IGRT), imaging procedures are routinely performed for patient positioning …

The efficacy and side effects of radiotherapy (RT) depend on parameters like dose and the
volume of irradiated tissue. RT induces modulations of the tumor immune microenvironment …

Purpose: Since the Gafchromic film EBT has been recently replaced by the newer model
EBT2, its characterization, especially energy dependence, has become critically important …
