Extraordinary normal tissue response to highly spatially fractionated X-ray beams has been
explored for over 25 years. More recently, alternative radiation sources have been …

Purpose To describe a novel and practical volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
planning approach for grid therapy. Methods and Materials Dose is prescribed to 1.5 cm …

Quantitative mechanistic modeling of the biological effects of ionizing radiation has a long
rich history. Initially, it was dominated by target theory, which quantifies damage caused by …

Objective. Radiation-induced cell death is a complex process influenced by physical,
chemical and biological phenomena. Although consensus on the nature and the mechanism …

Background The bystander effects, whereby naive (bystander) microbial cells near microbial
cells directly exposed to certain treatment show responses that would not have happened in …

Objective. An algorithm was developed for automated positioning of lattice points within
volumetric modulated arc lattice radiation therapy (VMAT LRT) planning. These points are …

Purpose Radiation treatment of cancer is usually delivered in a prescribed sequence of
dose fractions within which the dependence of dose on time is determined by the treatment …

Abstract Background and purpose Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is routinely
used in radiotherapy to identify the position of the target volume. The aim of this study was to …

Purpose: The goal of this research was to investigate the bystander effect in the A-375 cell
line under the GRID therapy technique. In GRID therapy, due to direct and indirect cell …

Therapeutic advantages of Grid therapy have been demonstrated in several theoretical
studies using the standard linear-quadratic (LQ) model. However, the suitability of the LQ …
