The implementation of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS) has greatly increased due to its convenience and advantages from …

This study investigated the dose absorbed by tissues surrounding artificial cardiac
pacemakers during external beam radiotherapy procedures. The usefulness of out-of-field …

Background Radiotherapy has been shown to cause malfunction of implantable cardioverter-
defibrillators, and there are few studies of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and …

Out‐of‐field dose depends on multiple factors, making peripheral dosimetry complex. Only a
few dosimeters have the required features for measuring peripheral dose. Plastic scintillator …

During the last decades, cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy has become
first line therapy for those who are at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and …

The objective of this project is to evaluate the percentage dose reduction in cardiac
implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) using a thermoplastic wrapped lead sheet. The dose …

Abstract Patients undergoing External Beam Radiation therapy (EBRT) are unavoidably
exposed to unattended radiation doses out of the treatment field. Although out-of-field doses …

Résumé Le récent développement de la méthode de discrimination spectrale pour la
calibration des dosimètres à fibres scintillantes plastiques (PSD) a conduit au …

Given the overlap in risk factors between cardiac disease and cancer, it is likely that the
number of patients presenting to radiation therapy departments with cardiac implantable …

With increasing aging of the population an increase in implantation rate of pacemakers
(PMs) and implantable cardioverters-defibrillators (ICDs) is observed. At the same time …
