Background: Nutrition informatics has become a novel approach for registered dietitians to
practice in this field and make a profit for health care. Recommendation systems considered …

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 …

Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has been shown to improve the overall survival for
invasive breast cancer patients, and many advanced radiotherapy technologies were …

Secondary cancer risk is a significant concern for women treated with breast radiation
therapy due to improved long-term survival rates. We evaluated the potential of new …

Purpose The dose deposited outside of the treatment field during external photon beam
radiation therapy treatment, also known as out-of-field dose, is the subject of extensive study …

Purpose Even though X-ray beams are widely used in medical diagnosis or radiotherapy,
the comparisons of their dose rates are scarce. We have recently demonstrated in vitro …

Whereas an RBE> 1 is described for very low-energy X-ray beams (in the range of 25–50
kV), there is a consensus that the RBE of X-rays (from 0.1 to 3 MeV) is equal to 1, whatever …

Purpose To assess out-of-field doses in radiotherapy treatments of paediatric patients, using
Monte Carlo methods to implement a new model of the linear accelerator validated against …

Background: Given the importance of scattered and low doses in secondary cancer caused
by radiation treatment, the point dose of critical organs, which were not subjected to …

In clinical radiotherapy, the most important aspects are the dose distribution in the target
volume and healthy organs, including out-of-field doses in the body. Compared to photon …
