High contrast in X-ray medical imaging, while maintaining acceptable radiation dose levels
to the patient, has long been a goal. One of the most promising methods is that of K-edge …

The advanced characteristics of synchrotron x-ray sources make it possible to implement
radiology with powerful and innovative approaches. We review in simple terms the …

Radiosensitization efficacy of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with low energy radiations (88
keV) was evaluated in vitro and in vivo on rats bearing glioma. In vitro, a significant dose …

This study was designed to experimentally evaluate the optimal X-ray energy for increasing
the radiation energy absorbed in tumours loaded with iodinated compounds, using the …

To analyze the effects of the microbeam width (25, 50 and 75 µm) on the survival of 9L
gliosarcoma tumor-bearing rats and on toxicity in normal tissues in normal rats after …

Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) is a preclinical form of radiosurgery dedicated to brain
tumor treatment. It uses micrometer-wide synchrotron-generated X-ray beams on the basis …

Preclinical experiments are carried out with∼ 20–30 μm wide,∼ 10 mm high parallel
microbeams of hard, broad‐“white”‐spectrum x rays (∼ 50–600 keV) to investigate …

Purpose Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), a novel experimental radiosurgery that largely
spares the developing CNS and other normal tissues, is tolerated well by developing …

Microbeam radiosurgery (MBRS), also referred to as microbeam radiation therapy (MRT),
was tested at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). The left tibiofibular thigh …

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) has the potential to treat infantile brain tumours when
other kinds of radiotherapy would be excessively toxic to the developing normal brain. MRT …
